President Donald Trump ordered that aid to Ukraine be frozen ahead of his call with that country's president during which he acknowledges he raised the question of investigating Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, a senior administration official confirmed Tuesday to ABC News.
Officials at the State Department and the Pentagon were told the president had “concerns” about corruption in Ukraine and wanted to analyze whether the money needed to be spent, the Post cited officials as saying. “No, no, I didn't,” Trump said when asked if he told the president of Ukraine that they would only get military aid if they investigated Biden during a pool spray of his meeting with Poland's president.
