How Mulvaney Responded to Criticism That He Admitted to Quid Pro Quo

White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney sought to clarify his remarks on Thursday about tying up military aid to Ukraine after critics accused him of admitting to a quid pro quo.

He said the media was “misconstruing” his comments to the press “to advance a biased and political witch hunt against President Trump.”

“Let me be clear, there was absolutely no quid pro quo between Ukrainian military aid and any investigation into the 2016 election,” Mulvaney said. “The president never told me to withhold any money until the Ukrainians did anything related to the server.”

Nor was any money ever withheld.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.
