Your Dec. 19 article on Tulsi Gabbard incorrectly states that Trump “asked Ukraine’s president to help investigate already debunked allegations of corruption against former Vice President Joe Biden.” This is a false statement in more than one way.

Please, read the phone call transcript. Trump mentions “the Bidens” in passing, in conjunction with many other examples, for the president of Ukraine to “look in to” as Trump, and the rest of the world who isn’t sleeping, knows that Ukraine is a melting pot of corruption. It just so happens that Joe Biden’s son was a part of a very corrupt company called Burisma.

Joe Biden had their equivalent to the attorney general, Viktor Shokin, fired because he was about to investigate Burisma. These are facts. But let’s not digress — the phone call wasn’t about Biden, it was about corruption. In no way was any of this “debunked” by facts.

Just because they say it in the news doesn’t make it true. Look to original documents, as the truth lies there, and there only.
