A senior white house official has admitted that President Donald Trump withheld millions of dollars of military aid to ukraine over a Conspiracy Theory involving the 2016 election make mulvaney said the ad was weve held partly to pressure kiev to investigate allegations about trumps rivals it being claimed that a computer belonging to the democrats was in ukraine but this has been debunked the white house denies any conditions were imposed on the ad and he has since backtracked lets listen to his comments about trumps decision that he also mentioned to me in past the corruption related to the d. N. C. Server absolutely no question about that but thats it thats why we held up the money it was a little bit more troops which is the demand for an investigation into the do it right part of the reason you want to withhold funding to bring the look back to what happened in 2016 certainly was was part of the thing that he was worried about in corruption with a nation that is absolutely broke well lets dig into this latest development in the trump card with g. W. Will reporter william noah glued croft William Mulvaney mentioned this alleged corruption whats he talking about here right so this we have to remember the mullah report was looking in. To russias potential involvement they found russias involvement in Election Fraud and election manipulation in the 2016 president ial election now donald trump was very interested in how that how mullers investigation began in the 1st place its a conspiracy Conspiracy Theory that has actually no merit no evidence in fact his own National Homeland Security Officials have said this has been debunked that it wasnt russia involved but ukraine involved and not on the side of the republicans and donald trump on the side of the democrats that is this conspiracy that has been trying to push and thats what theyre trying to thats what he said he was trying to find out about in ukraine which is what this whole thing is now about its been hard to keep up isnt it mulvaney said the aid was partly held up to pressure ukraine he said said the media have got his comments all wrong why have his comments raised eyebrows like this well once again we see the Trump Administration seemingly dangling a quid pro quo out for everyone to see which of course they backtrack and say theres no quid pro quo the quid pro quo were talking about here is we we give you military assistance if you help us with our political agenda now the big question here is was this for was this in the name of americas interests or was this in the name of Donald Trumps interest thats what it impeachment investigators impeachment investigators in the u. S. House of representatives are looking at because if this was withholding military assistance to reach some kind of u. S. Policy goal thats perfectly legitimate and as mulvaney said that happens all the time in Foreign Affairs but if this was being withheld to help donald trump and help his own personal or political interest that is what could be a quid pro quo and what could be an Impeachable Offense ok what else has happened today in terms of these to impeachment inquiry against donald trump a lot of dominoes are falling we have Gordon Zombieland the u. S. Ambassador to the European Union testifying in a closed door a closed door meeting with house investigators and he said that it was donald trump who gave his private attorney Rudy Giuliani basically. No holds barred sue to pursue a parallel ukraine Foreign Policy in addition to official u. S. Foreign policy that is on land although he had reservations about this and didnt like it went along with it and then the other Big Development is that the u. S. Energy secretary rick perry has resigned hes been caught up in this investigation as well its been rumored for several weeks he might resign its not clear why he chose to resign today but being when he resigns stepping out of the government might actually freedom up to be able to speak more freely to investigators ok reporter william noah glucose thank you very much. Well its said to be a day of political haggling and crunching the numbers in london british Prime Minister bars johnson says hes confident he can persuade lawmakers to back a new deal with the e. U. One breaks it a you states have unanimously approved the deal and now the British Parliament is due to vote on it on saturday there are some key hurdles though barras johnson leads a minority government and his Northern Ireland allies say they wont support the deal. One step closer to briggs that british Prime Minister Boris Johnson was in a boy into mood thanks to the new deal on the table this is a great deal for our country for the u. K. I also believe its a very good deal for our friends in the e. U. And what it means is that we in the u. K. Can come out of the e. U. As one United Kingdom england scotland wales Northern Ireland together the fine print of the deal was approved by the e. U. Was chief brics to go she had her mission on year guaranteeing no hard border on irish sorel had been the main Sticking Point but he said theyd found a workable solution for Northern Ireland which is part of the u. K. Notion ireland will remain and i and to a limited set of e. U. Rules should not have really related to goods this means Northern Ireland will remain in the u. K. Customs area no hard border on the island of ireland you could customs checks at British Ports on shipments entering Northern Ireland and for goods that might end up in the e. U. Single market e. U. Tariffs will be applied. With the european leaders agreeing to back the deal now its up to the British Parliament to give its approval but the deal faces resistance here we believe it is not in the interests of Northern Ireland either economically and ive explained all of that around a border essentially for not just regulations but for goods we have different votto rules and we have no effect of consent over any of those really so all of that taken on the right means that we cannot support the state what happens if the British Parliament doesnt back this deal back in brussels you commission chief didnt have a clear answer to that question i hope you treat them pretty busy. And if you test it has to be just when you were there would be no foreign leaders in. The german chancellor was hopeful it would pass on this also. We didnt negotiate this deal for it to be voted down bars johnson told us he will do everything to get a majority and if that doesnt happen then well have to see the end of a Boris Johnson said he would not meet the same fate as his predecessor theresa may who repeatedly failed to get a break the deal approved he has now cleared an important hurdle put the divorce is still far from done. Well earlier we spoke with correspondent burkett mohsin hasta if Boris Johnson had to give in to make this deal work he did have to give in when it comes to all the nolen and this is exactly why would why he will have a hard time and getting his deal through parliament the Northern Irish party the d u p who is an ally of ours johnson they still think that Northern Island will be treated differently from the rest of the u. K. And this is what theyre not want they are Unionist Party they want to stay as close the lines as possible to the rest of the u. K. And effectively there will be some changes and they fear that Northern Ireland will in the long run be drawn more towards the European Union that do elations the business relations will become stronger with the European Union and there you would drift away from the rest of the u. K. So this is why theyre objecting to it and this is where bo is johnson had to give in had to make concessions and this is why you will have difficulties getting a true. Youre watching g. W.
