WASHINGTON -- Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have launched an investigation into whether President Donald Trump is pressuring Ukraine to produce dirt on a potential presidential contender, including by withholding $250 million in military aid.

The House Committees on Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, and Oversight and Reform – all controlled by Democrats -- sent a letter on September 9 to the president’s counsel, Pat Cipollone, demanding the White House turn over documents, including a transcript of Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and any records related to the potential suspension of aide.

“If the President is trying to pressure Ukraine into choosing between defending itself from Russian aggression without U.S. assistance or leveraging its judicial system to serve the ends of the Trump campaign, this would represent a staggering abuse of power, a boon to Moscow and a betrayal of the public trust,” the letter said.
