TRUMP tells George Stephanopoulos "there isn't anything wrong with listening" to foreign info about rivals, what do you think?

Trump says he 'would want to hear' info on 2020 rivals from foreign governments - and outrage follows
Democrats are outraged after President Trump said in an interview Wednesday that he would be willing to listen to foreign governments if they approached him with information on a political rival. "I think I'd want to hear it. … I think you might want to listen. There isn't anything wrong with listening," he said in an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos. Trump added he would not necessarily contact the FBI if such an approach was made, fueling Democrats' ire. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., a 2020 candidate for president, tweeted, "It's time for Congress to begin impeachment hearings."


Still, Trump supporters point out that Democrats may be hypocrites on this issue, as they failed to condemn fellow Democrats, including representatives of Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC), for funding the creation of the infamous and discredited anti-Trump "Steele dossier" by former British spy Christopher Steele. Fox News' Sean Hannity called the Trump-Stephanopoulos interview a "nonstory" and a "genius setup"by Trump for his foes in the "media mob." The interview was released hours after House Judiciary Committee Democrats announced that former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks has agreed to testify before the panel next week on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report.
