WASHINGTON—Conservative activists are launching a nationwide campaign to pressure Congress members to back away from their interest in impeaching President Donald Trump for his phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
Democrats led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi call for an impeachment inquiry into Trump, who asked Zelensky to help him investigate Democratic former Vice President Joe Biden for admittedly pressuring Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was probing Burisma Holdings gas company. Hunter Biden, Biden’s son, was on the company’s board during the Obama administration. Trump maintains that he did nothing wrong by discussing the issue with Zelensky.
