In 2019, Donald Trump wanted dirt on Joe Biden, so he thought the smart move would be to threaten aid to Ukraine. It led to his first impeachment. In 2023, as stevebenen writes, the Republican is ready to do the same thing again.
In broad strokes, Donald Trump’s 2019 impeachment was relatively straightforward: The then-American president, hoping Ukraine would bolster one of his partisan election schemes, withheld aid to the U.S. ally. It wasn’t subtle: The Republican realized that Ukraine was desperate for support ahead of a feared Russian invasion, so Trump tried to leverage those fears for his own gain, trying to tie strings to congressionally approved military assistance.
The evidence of Trump’s culpability was overwhelming, and even some of the GOP senators who voted to acquit himTo hear Sen. Susan Collins tell it, the public could rest easy about the near-future. “I believe that [Trump] has learned from this case,” the Maine RepublicanThe relevance of that quote continues to linger — because the former president keeps discrediting the idea that he “learned” anything from the ordeal.
Former president Donald Trump called on congressional Republicans to withhold military support for Ukraine until the Biden administration cooperates with their investigations into the president and his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings. The demand, delivered at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, echoed Trump’s conduct at issue during his first impeachment, when Trump withheld aid from Ukraine while pressuring the country’s president to announce an investigation of Biden.
“Congress should refuse to authorize a single additional shipment of our depleted weapons stockpiles ... to Ukraine until the FBI, DOJ, and IRS hand over every scrap of evidence they have on the Biden Crime Family’s corrupt business dealings,” the former president told attendees.
