CNN obtained audio of Trump’s lawyer and America’s mayor, Rudy Giuliani, in 2019 trying to coerce an aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to announce an investigation into candidate Joe Biden.
“All we need from the President [Zelensky] is to say, I’m gonna put an honest prosecutor in charge, he’s gonna investigate and dig up the evidence, that presently exists and is there any other evidence about involvement of the 2016 election, and then the Biden thing has to be run out,” Giuliani said, according to the audio. “… Somebody in Ukraine’s gotta take that seriously.”
So much for Trump’s assertion “no quid pro quo.”
