There was so much pressure that it nearly worked. The president of Ukraine was ready to do dt's bidding and start an investigation of the 2016 election and Biden in order to get the military aid to fight off the Russians.
"The New York Times reported on Thursday that Zelensky had planned to announce an investigation into Trump's political rivals during a September interview on CNN, but those plans had been scrapped once Trump released promised security aid. Zakaria told CNN's Brooke Baldwin on Thursday that the interview had been months in the making, but it fell apart when the Ukraine scandal began to unfold."
"We had been negotiating with President Zelensky and his office for a while, for months, to try to get an interview with him anyway, ever since he was elected President," Zakaria, host of "Fareed Zakaria GPS," told Baldwin."
"Once all this came to light, once the transcript of the call, as I recall, once that became public, or maybe once the whistleblower complaint, I can't remember exactly when -- it became clear to us that the interview was off," he continued."
Please remember dt had done this before in 2017 when he got the Ukranian government to stop giving Mueller information and investigating Manafort.
