President Donald Trump assailed his envoy to Ukraine on Friday as a “Never Trumper,” days after the diplomat’s testimony provided new fuel for the impeachment inquiry launched by congressional Democrats.

“Here’s the problem, he’s a ‘Never Trumper’ and his lawyer’s a ‘Never Trumper,'” said the president, who went on to criticize Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for appointing the career diplomat, William Taylor Jr., to the post.

“Hey, everybody makes mistakes — Mike Pompeo, everybody makes mistakes,” Trump told reporters gathered on the White House lawn as he departed for South Carolina. “He’s a ‘Never Trumper,’ his lawyer is the head of the ‘Never Trumpers.'”

Trump then attacked the reporter asking the question. “And here’s the other problem, you’re with CNN and you’re fake news,” Trump added.

The president’s remarks came after Taylor provided lawmakers with an opening statement that alleged Trump and his top aides attempted to pressure Ukrainian leaders into probing the son of a top Democratic rival, Joe Biden, by delaying defense aid that the Eastern European country desperately needs.

“The level of unfairness for a perfect conversation with the president of Ukraine — this was a perfect conversation,” Trump insisted. “And, frankly, had they known what the conversation was, they wouldn’t have even wasted everybody’s time.”

A reconstructed transcript of Trump’s July conversation with the Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, showed that Trump discussed American aid to the one-time Soviet satellite state and then suggested Zelensky “look into” the relationship between a Ukrainian natural gas company and Biden’s son Hunter.

Ukrainian officials say there is no proof of any illegality by the Bidens.

Trump’s request to Zelensky pushed Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — who previously checked a push by liberal lawmakers to impeach Trump — to open an inquiry into his behavior.

The House Democratic probe has revealed that Trump’s personal defense attorney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, played an instrumental role in the White House’s discussions with Ukraine.

Giuliani’s attempts to dig up dirt on the Bidens in Ukraine are now the subject of an investigation by Manhattan federal prosecutors, according to media reports.

Two of Giuliani’s associates were arrested at Washington’s Dulles Airport with one-way plane tickets to Vienna, Austria, on charges they funneled foreign cash to Republican politicians.

But Trump downplayed his attorney’s growing legal woes in his Friday gaggle with reporters.

“I think Rudy is a great gentleman, he’s been a great crimefighter,” Trump said. “He looks for corruption wherever he goes. Everybody understands Ukraine has big problems in that regard.”
