Last week every major news outlet reported that Rick Perry was resigning next month. Most people assumed that the reason he was resigning was because of his trips to Ukraine that might have been related to Trump's request for Ukraine to investigate Biden. But today Perry said he isn't resigning after all!
Also -- and this is going to get him in trouble with his boss -- Perry said that he asked Trump several times to call Ukraine. But he said he asked Trump to speak with the president of Ukraine about energy, not about investigating Joe Biden.
And then there is this, which some people call the "blame Perry" defense!..
On Friday, the president claimed for the first time that he also hadn’t wanted to have the fateful July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at all, but did so at the request of Energy Secretary Rick Perry. Trump made the claim despite the fact that the memo his own White House released about the call contained no reference to Perry and only a passing reference — by Zelensky — to potential trade with the U.S. energy sector.
