BREAKING: Trump says he has authorized release of 'complete, fully declassified and unredacted' transcript of Ukraine call
-- President Donald Trump ordered his acting chief of staff to delay sending $400 million in military aid to Ukraine at least a week before he spoke to that country’s president, a person familiar with the matter said Monday night.
“No, I didn’t,” Trump told reporters in a meeting with Poland’s president on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. Three House committees have announced that they were looking into whether Trump used the withholding of military aid as leverage, and several more Democrats have come forward to demand for impeachment proceedings. The chamber’s Democratic caucus will meet on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the whistle-blower’s complaint, according to a person familiar with the matter.
“Joe Biden and his son are corrupt,” he said. “If a Republican ever did what Joe Biden did, if a Republican ever said what Joe Biden said, they’d be getting the electric chair by right now.” Biden said in a 2018 event at the Council on Foreign Relations that he had threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees from Ukraine unless its leaders dismissed Shokin. The Ukrainian parliament wound up voting to remove the prosecutor.
