Ukraine's Foreign Minister Confirms No Linkage Between Aid and Investigations pjmedia.com/trending/ukrai… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
On Thursday, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko told reporters that Gordon Sondland, the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, did not link military aid from the United States with investigations into Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
"Ambassador Sondland did not tell us, and did not tell me exactly, about the relation between the [military] assistance and the investigations," Prystaiko said. "I have never seen a direct link between investigations and security assistance.”
“Yes, investigations were mentioned, you know, in a presidential conversation. But there was no clear connection between these events," he added.
The alleged linkage between the aid and the investigation was crucial to the Democrats' argument of a quid pro quo, which they are now trying to impeach President Trump for.
This lines up with Sondland's closed-door testimony when he testified that when he asked Trump what he wanted from Ukraine Trump said, “I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. I want Zelensky to do the right thing... to do what he ran on.”
Sondland's amended testimony also makes clear that he has no idea why military aid to Ukraine had been temporarily suspended.
