Trump Ukraine - 10 things to know with detail
The controversy surrounding Trump and Ukraine centers around a phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on July 25, 2019. In the call, Trump asked Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine.
The call was brought to light by a whistleblower complaint, which alleged that Trump had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
The whistleblower complaint led to an impeachment inquiry by the House of Representatives, which ultimately led to Trump's impeachment on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
The impeachment inquiry focused on Trump's withholding of military aid to Ukraine, which had been approved by Congress, as leverage to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing, claiming that his actions were appropriate and that there was no quid pro quo in his dealings with Ukraine.
The Senate ultimately acquitted Trump of the impeachment charges in February 2020.
The controversy has raised concerns about the integrity of U.S. elections and the potential for foreign interference.
The fallout from the controversy has strained U.S.-Ukraine relations, with some critics accusing Trump of undermining Ukraine's sovereignty and security.
The controversy has also had political repercussions, with the issue becoming a focal point in the 2020 presidential election campaign.
The Trump-Ukraine controversy has highlighted the importance of transparency and accountability in government, as well as the need to safeguard the integrity of democratic processes.
