President Trump has managed to embroil Vice President Mike Pence in the Ukraine scandal, which critics are hoping means good news for Democrats, particularly House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.


After a whistleblower complaint came to light about a concerning phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which Trump pressured Zelenksy to look into 2020 Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, the White House released a summary of the phone call to appease critics.

As more information comes to light and the scandal continues to deepen in the wake of an official impeachment inquiry by the House of Representatives, Trump held a news conference outside of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Wednesday.

At one particularly awkward point during the conference, Trump told reporters he wasn't the only person to speak to Zelensky, saying:

"I think you should ask for Vice President Pence's conversation, because he had a couple of conversations also."

He added:

"I could save you a lot of time. They were all perfect. Nothing was mentioned of any import other than congratulations."

It's still uncertain what Pence's phone calls might have actually entailed, but the thought of a double impeachment has Democrats salivating.

Especially considering that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would be the next in line for the presidency in the (rather unlikely) event that both Trump and Pence are successfully removed from office or resign.

The low odds of this series of events coming to fruition didn't stop T


witter from dreaming, however, as #PresidentPelosi began to trend Wednesday night.

But perhaps Samantha Bee summed up the irony of it all best.

Trump Gets Brutal Reminder After He Rages Against DOJ Filing In His 2020 Election Case

After U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan released a filing from special counsel Jack Smith regarding his investigation into former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, Trump received a brutal reminder when he complained that the authorities are interfering in November's election.

Following the Supreme Court's July ruling that former presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts performed while in office but not for unofficial acts, Smith revised Trump's original indictment pertaining to his actions before, during, and after the insurrection of January 6, 2021, leading to a grand jury reindicting Trump last month.
