The Washington Post is reporting President Trump ordered a hold on $400 million in military aid to Ukraine about one week before he spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and pressured him to investigate Joe Biden’s son and his business interests in Ukraine — this according to three top administration officials. Trump has acknowledged discussing Joe Biden and his son Hunter with the Ukrainian president but insists there was no quid pro quo. Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy said Monday Zelensky told him that he believed the aid was cut off because he refused to launch such an investigation. Senator Murphy said, “There is an implicit threat in every demand that a United States president makes of a foreign power.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now consulting with Democratic lawmakers on whether to impeach Trump over the mounting scandal.
