The Ukrainian president said Thursday that there was no pressure from the White House during his now-infamous July phone call with President Trump, who had asked him to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden as well as a theory that Ukraine had interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
“This call influenced only one thing. We needed to secure a meeting, that it was necessary to meet with the president,” he said. “I wanted to show him our team, our young team. I wanted to get him into Ukraine.” The news conference did little to clarify whether the Ukrainian government would investigate Biden or his son Hunter, who sat on the board of the gas company Burisma in 2014. The country’s top prosecutor has said he plans to reopen an investigation into the company, but he has not detailed the focus of that inquiry.
Oh yeah and we believe HIM .....hah!!!
It doesn’t matter what Zelensky tells us. It matters what Congress decides.
Did anyone bother to ask him if he heard or read the read out of the conversation😡😡😡
Not the point
Well that settles it!
I call BS. Ukraine needs the US to stay independent they’d sell their Mother if they had to.
Is there such a thing a Battered Ally Syndrome?
Democrats can’t stand hearing the truth, impeach congress?
I don’t know why would he tell the truth? But I know why he would lie. trumplies LockTrumpUp
Must be great to be impeached over blackmailing attempts the victim of was too dumb to recognize.
Nancy and the libs
Let’s look into Biden and Obama now .
Biden family getting enriched by US aid through the Ukraine as Ukrainian Oligarchs/company received favor from Ukrainian Govt. Where is that story ?
Ouch, that’s not what Dems expected. Trump was accused of many things. This time he will be known for the worst blackmail in the history of the blackmail, haha.
Blackmail and extortion ARE two different words.
Starting to think zelensky doesn't know what he's doing anymore than trump does.
Since when do we believe foreign nationals when it comes to national security? We’re not this stupid.....are we?
blackmail does not equal extortion
Tell that to the next President! Maybe your country ain’t worth one dime of taxpayers money!
“There was no stick, only carrot during this particular call “
No blackmail Zelensky, then why are you assisting trump in this Biden investigation. Just stop
He’s scared to death that he won’t get further help KurdsBetrayedByTrump
