Trump said he had a transcript of his call with Ukraine that would exonerate him. This ain’t it, Commander in Chief
When Zelensky brings up military aid, Trump asks him for a favorshortly before speaking with Zelensky on July 25th, and many have feared that Trump was attempting to extort Zelensky, offering to un-freeze the aid on the condition he dug up dirt on Joe Biden. Trump has insisted there was no “quid pro quo,” but what the transcript reveals is about as close as it comes.
This was preceded by Trump, at the top of the call, essentially saying Ukraine owes the United States:“… A lot of the European countries are the same way so I think it’s something you want to look at but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine. I wouldn’t say that it’s reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine.”Trump already admitted that he brought up Biden while speaking with Zelensky.
Trump tells Zelensky to coordinate with Rudy Giuliani, his personal lawyer who has no government role, and with Attorney General William Barr Regarding Barr, the transcript is evidence that Trump offered a foreign government the assistance of the United States Justice Department to investigate a political rival ahead of an election.“Well she’s going to go through some things. I will have Mr. Giuliani give you a call and I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call and we will get to the bottom of it. I’m sure you will figure it out.
