deliberately withheld Ukraininan aid money to facilitate presidentWall Street Journal,
Johnson said, “Oh God. I don’t want to see those two things combined.” Rather than defend his statement, Johnson immediately began to recite a list of Trump’s many grievances with the media. He then invoked common Trump targetsostensibly comparing a mention of Ukraine in the former FBI agents’ texts to the current scandal with Zelensky.
Confused and somewhat resigned, Todd attempted to cut in. “Why Fox News conspiracy propaganda stuff is popping up on here, I have no idea,” the anchor said.Eventually Johnson did circle back to Todd’s inquiry, adding that to him, Trump “completely,” “adamantly,” “vehemently, [and] angrily” denied the claim that Ukrainian aid was withheld over an investigation and he instead sought answers for Ukraine’s alleged interference in the 2016 election.
When Todd asked whether Johnson believed FBI and CIA conclusions that Russia interfered in the election, Johnson replied that he “absolutely” believed in Russian meddling, but was less trusting of the agencies themselves due to “unanswered” questions about their role in the Ukraine scandal. “So do you not trust the FBI? Do you not trust the CIA?” Todd asked.
