Trump reportedly released Ukraine aid after knowledge of whistleblower complaint

A new report could challenge one of the president’s key defenses against impeachment. According to the New York Times, the president released the Ukraine aid he’s accused of withholding for political gain, only after he knew the issue was the subject of a whistleblower complaint. At a rally in Florida Tuesday, the president once again slammed the impeachment process. Weijia Jiang reports.

Why should we keep sending aid to corrupt regimes?

If Trump wanted them to testify, they would. He's so full of it! They can't lie under oath and he knows there's nothing good to say.

[jonathananaya]

Did Gordon Sondland say that he and Giuliani pressured Ukraine because the pres said so? I watched the impeachment hearings and didn’t see him say that at all??

[bryandylanweast]

still waiting to be allowed to speak, I sent the complaint. they have denied to let me speak, I sent Schiff the concern first.

[DrRyanHooker]

Again, This is so fishy. Could everyone under him be complicit but not the president?

[jobriath]

Shitf lies so much he has to get someone else to call his dog!

[TheShays]

The Democrats desperate impeachment efforts

[shadowscott]

[hisnamewasrocco]

I can’t wait for the fisa report to come out!!

[MartsEntertainment]

This is breaking that Trump was aware of the whistleblower in August.

[alkatraz]

Are we still talking about a " whistleblower " that never heard the phone call to Pres. Zelenskiy?

[mleggieri]

If they have nothing to hide, let them speak out. Sunlight is the best disinfectant!

[forty]

I stopped after I heard "new York times"

[jinga]

Don't you mean the Whistleblower's third cousin twice removed believes that his friend heard his sister tell her best friend that that happened?

[jasonspringer]

Oh my God just stop. Do you have any idea what you're doing to your organization? When this is all over and you couldn't have possibly gotten it more wrong who will trust you then?

[warrenholly]

I don't think those polls are remotely close to the real numbers I put them at 70 for impeach remove and 25 at no. Just my opinion and just for the poll takers nobody ask me my family or friends and I know alot of PEOPLE

[phonevidz]

The trolls are running rampant on this one.
