President Trump arrives for an event honoring 2018 NASCAR Cup Series Champion Joey Logano in Washington on Tuesday. But do you think Trump would hesitate for an instant before telling Barr to open an investigation of the Democratic nominee for president? Trump may already be preparing to mobilize the federal government’s resources to destroy his opponent, whoever that turns out to be. Mr. Giuliani’s involvement raises questions about whether Mr. Trump is endorsing an effort to push a foreign government to proceed with a case that could hurt a political opponent at home. Mr. Giuliani declined to comment on any such phone call with Mr. Trump, but acknowledged that he has discussed the matter with the president on multiple occasions.
