WaPo Editorial: Trump Corruption Is In Black And White

From the editorial board of the Washington Post:

Text messages among U.S. diplomats and a Ukrainian official released by House committees definitively show that not only did the Trump administration seek to extract Ukrainian promises of political probes in exchange for a summit meeting, but also they spent weeks negotiating the deal both before and after the Trump-Zelensky phone call.

As we have written, our information is that the White House was conditioning security assistance on Ukraine’s promise to conduct the politically motivated investigations.

But legislators already know this much: Mr. Trump literally used his office — in the form of a promised White House meeting — to induce a foreign leader to investigate a potential opponent in the 2020 election. That was a blatant act of corruption
