Trump asked his acting chief of staff to put a hold on millions in military aid to Ukraine, roughly a week before a call with the Ukrainian president in which he pressured the country to investigate Joe Biden's son, two senior administration officials say

Washington President Donald Trump asked his acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to put a hold on millions in military aid to Ukraine roughly one week before a call with the Ukrainian president in which he pressured the country to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's son, two senior administration officials said on Monday.

Trump was primarily concerned with"corruption" in Ukraine and Europe shouldering more of the financial burden for supporting Ukraine's defense, according to one of the officials.There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden.The Washington Post was first to report that Trump told Mulvaney to put a hold on almost $400 million in military aid for Ukraine.

The Democratic candidates have unveiled yet another unaffordable socialist scheme that would make you pay more in taxes.

! No second time for Trump! The US economic super-crisis will block Donald Trump's second presidential term. US voters will not forgive President Trump for a new Great Depression. But will this happen? The US Senate and Congress are increasingly obedient to POTUS.

He's now accusing the Bidens of being corrupt, same story ' I know you are, but what am I'.

I just usually ask why the president has this power to begin with. But instead I think there is only one question: Why is Trump not facing 300 or 400 votes for impeachment?

And? Lol

Is anyone aside from Trump still pretending this wasn’t corrupt af?

There is the quid pro quo

When are you going to INVESTIGATE BIDEN ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ YOURE HYPOCRITES AND DEMOCRATS.🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Who arrests him ? Is it FBI ? Or ?

This is what this crooked man has done. Neither Republicans nor Democrats or the electorate can over look this criminal behavior any longer-:)

yeah he should withhold aid till corruption is thoroughly investigated!

While Liar Biden maintains his innocence & insists that he Never Spoke to his son about his business dealings abroad, investigation into Burisma Holdings was shelved by Kiev & He was 'CAUGHT' on tape boasting about pressuring Ukrainian Govt. to terminate the prosecutor. Trump

Good. The US media is trash and protects the Democrats like Hillary and Bill when they engage in criminal behavior so Trump isn’t letting that happen anymore and is taking the story of The Biden’s wrongdoings out of their hands so they can’t cover it up or refuse to cover it.

Biden and his son committed crimes. They should be investigated.
