Pres. Trump and his defenders have repeatedly claimed that aid to Ukraine was 'fully paid.' But the impeachment report says $35 million in military aid continues to be withheld. Here's this means for Ukraine, and for Trump's defense.
MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber was first to reveal a new piece of evidence in the impeachment report that shreds one of Trump’s core impeachment defenses -- that military money to Ukraine was “fully paid.
” In a fact check, Melber reports how "Pentagon officials confirmed" to investigators that Ukraine still has not received "$35 million in security assistance." Former Federal Prosecutor John Flannery argues Trump is “going down,” and warns “Republicans who think they can vote to save this guy in the Senate” that Trump may “do something else.”
