'I believe—I truly believe—the time to begin impeachment proceedings against this president has come.' Rep. John Lewis calls for impeachment proceedings to begin, saying 'the future of our democracy is at stake.'
President Donald Trump ordered that aid to Ukraine be frozen ahead of his call with that country's president, a senior administration official confirmed to ABC News on Tuesday, while Trump acknowledged he raised the question of investigating Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
The Washington Post was first to report that Trump ordered Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney to hold back almost $400 million in military aid at least a week before the July 25 phone call. “No, no, I didn't,” Trump said when asked if he told the president of Ukraine that they would only get military aid if they investigated Biden during a pool spray of his meeting with Poland's president.
The president elaborated on his assertion that the U.S. is paying more than its fair share compared to European allies.
