Taylor Cites NYT as Sole Source for His Claim Trump Wanted Biden Dirt

Taylor Cites NYT as Sole Source for His Claim Trump Wanted Biden Dirt: U.S. diplomat Bill Taylor, during his deposition last month, identified the New York Times as the sole source of his claim that President Donald Trump wanted Ukraine to help him get dirt on Joe Biden, transcripts released Wednesday show.

Taylor suggested that Trump wanted Ukraine to launch investigations into corruption allegations against the former vice president and his son Hunter and potential U.S. election interference only to get information on his political rival Joe Biden.

The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Taylor, revealed that the Times was the only source for his reasoning.

Besides a New York Times article, “I have no other information from what the [U.S.] president was thinking,” he declared under questioning by Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) during his October 22 deposition, given behind closed doors.
