Trump withholding aid to Ukraine to extort them into investigating Biden

damn - even Tony Soprano wouldn't be this shameless.

Link to tweet

text of tweet:

.@washingtonpost has been "reliably told" that Trump is intentionally withholding a White House visit and US military aid "in an attempt to extort" the Ukrainian government into "intervening in the 2020 US presidential election" by investigating Joe Biden

I put in GD since it's more Trump related as opposed to Biden/Primaries.

Some things related to Ukraine that were axed off the Pentagon spending list for the stupid wall
Would that count as evidence?

or, can it be written off as trying to build Donny's penis substitute wall?

Unless they have emails, texts or testimony saying that they're cutting off aid unless they make stuff up about Biden, they'll be able to kick the can down the road.
