Sources say that, despite his denials, Volodymyr Zelensky was feeling pressure from the Trump administration to investigate Biden before the July phone call.
Despite his denials, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was feeling pressure from the Trump administration to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden before the July phone call with President Trump that led to impeachment hearings.
The briefings showed that U.S. officials knew early that Zelensky was feeling pressure to investigate Biden, even though the Ukrainian leader later denied it in a joint news conference with Trump in September.Congressional Republicans have pointed to that public Zelensky statement to argue that he felt no pressure to open an investigation and, therefore, the Democrats’ allegations that led to the impeachment hearings were misplaced.
Witnesses have detailed, in closed-door depositions and public impeachment hearings, that allies of Trump pressed Ukraine to investigate Biden and his son while withholding military aid and a coveted meeting between the newly elected Zelensky and Trump.The U.S.
After the meeting, Hochstein told the embassy officials about Zelensky’s concerns and then traveled to Washington to update Yovanovitch on the meeting. The ambassador, who was fending off a smear campaign, had just been called back to Washington, where she was informed that she no longer had the confidence of the president. She was relieved of her duties as ambassador on May 20.
