The president of Turkey was brought here today for one reason.

At the news conference today, Trump will ask him if he ever felt pressure from him to investigate Biden and if Trump told him that he would not get the aid if he did not do as he asked.

Erdogan is here as a distraction. On that we may agree.

The country Trump withheld aid from was Ukraine, not Turkey.

Trump is meeting with the president of Turkey because he loves dictators.

hearing was even scheduled. Look for him to use it to his advantage. I worry for that cleric, Erdogan blames for his coup attempt.
