McConnell: 'I was not given an explanation' for Ukraine aid delay

Source: The Hill

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he was not provided an explanation for why the Trump administration held up aid to Ukraine when he pressed senior officials on the matter over the summer.

"I was not given an explanation," McConnell told reporters Tuesday as the congressional furor grew over President Trump's interactions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

McConnell said he spoke to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo twice about the matter without receiving clarification for the delay in $391 million in aid to Ukraine.

"I was very actively involved in advocating [for] the aid. I talked to the secretary of Defense, the secretary of State once," he said.

Turtle throws Trump under the mini-bus. No references to inter agency reviews or Euros paying their fair share.

20. KICK! This is story of the day, far as I'm concerned - Putin's Mitch is ditching LOSER45

MF45 has lost the Senate

McConnell’s playing stupid and saying OH MY, I begged for the Ukraine aid, I didn’t KNOW about this dastardly “phone call”!! YEAH RIGHT

And now he and his little Senate Republicans have thrown the door WIDE OPEN for the whistleblower to come in and TELL IT

Adios DUMBFUCK45 - you’re on your own

27. Co-Conspirators could include Barr, Mulvaney, the SecDef and Sec State.

Who else knew trump made an offer Zelensky couldn’t refuse and when did they know it? Moscow Mitch wants us to believe he didn’t know until he saw it in the fake news.

Pence had his own conversation with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky during a trip to Poland this month. He told reporters after the meeting that he had not discussed Biden with Zelensky. He did not directly respond when asked if he could assure Ukraine that the holdup of military assistance was not related to an effort to dig up dirt on the Biden family
