An associate of Rudy Giuliani says he warned Ukraine that the Trump administration would withhold military aid if the country didn't launch an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden.

A lawyer for Lev Parnas told the New York Times that his client met with a representative of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government in May, during which he said the country must announce an investigation into Biden or else the White House would freeze military aid to the nation, the outlet reported Sunday.

He also allegedly told them Vice President Mike Pence would not attend Zelensky's inauguration if the investigation wasn't announced. Parnas is reportedly prepared to share his account with House impeachment investigators and is scheduled to testify in the coming days.

Administration officials have argued that the aid was never held up on the condition that Ukraine open an investigation into Biden.

No. It was held up for other reasons.  And VP Pence didn't attend the inauguration for some other reason too.  They can't tell us the reasons, but they are certain it's not because the President is a vindictive criminal who used his power to extort dirt from Ukraine yet failed embarassingly.
