Along with the transcript of the two leaders’ famous July 25 call showing no “quid pro quo” imposed by President Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s repeated public denials of any such arrangement continue to undermine the Democrats’ impeachment efforts. In an interview published by Time magazine on Monday, Zelensky — even while expressing some frustration with Trump and his administration — further drove the nail in the coffin of those hoping he would somehow change his tune on “no quid pro quo.”
In a loaded question, Time reporters tried to get Zelensky to offer something incriminating about Trump’s decision to delay U.S. security aid to Ukraine. “When did you first sense that there was a connection between Trump’s decision to block military aid to Ukraine this summer and the two investigations that Trump and his allies were asking for?” a Time reporter asked. “Can you clarify this issue of the quid pro quo?”
