Trump essentially admitted on live TV to doing the thing he's accused of in the impeachment inquiry https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-admits-to-ukraine-military-aid-quid-pro-quo-tv-2019-11
- In a Friday interview on "Fox & Friends," President Donald Trump admitted to holding up military aid to Ukraine to pressure the government to investigate a baseless conspiracy theory about Ukrainian election interference and Democratic collusion.
- In other words, Trump acknowledged doing the very thing he has repeatedly denied and could be impeached for.
- The president started by referring to the broad outlines of the conspiracy, suggesting Ukraine is hiding a Democratic National Committee "server" that contains evidence of Ukrainian meddling in the 2016 US election.
- After bringing up his July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, he said, crucially: "I mean, I asked it very point-blank, because we're looking for corruption. There's tremendous corruption. Why should we be giving hundreds of millions of dollars to countries when there's this kind of corruption?"
