US diplomat tells Congress aid to Ukraine was tied to Biden, 2016 probes
|
[NYPOST] The acting US ambassador to Ukraine testified that he was told that the release of US military aid to the country was dependent on Ukraine publicly vowing to investigate Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
 ...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant ...
and his son as well as the 2016 election, a new report said Tuesday.
Testimony from William Taylor contradicted President Trump’s denial that there was a quid pro quo and that he used the nearly $400 million as leverage for personal political gain, the Washington Post reported.
Taylor walked politicians through conversations he had with other US diplomats who were trying to obtain what one called the "deliverable" of Ukrainian help investigating Trump’s political rivals, according to an opening statement obtained by the paper.
Taylor said he spoke to Ambassador Gordon Sondland, the US envoy to the EU.
"During that phone call, Amb. Sondland told me that President Trump had told him that he wants President [Volodymyr] Zelensky to state publicly that Ukraine will investigate Burisma and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election," Taylor said in the statement.
"Amb. Sondland also told me that he now recognized that he had made a mistake by earlier telling the Ukrainian officials to whom he spoke that a White House meeting with President Zelensky was dependent on a public announcement of investigations ‐ in fact, Amb. Sondland said, ’everything’ was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance," Taylor told House Sherlocks.
