Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, has yet to explain why he ordered a freeze in nearly $400 million in U.S. military aid to Ukraine for three months this summer. That key question hangs over the House impeachment hearings.
A long list of aides to President Trump could have appeared in the House impeachment hearings to defend his efforts in Ukraine, especially since the president insists everything he did was “perfect.”
It was Mulvaney who set up the now-infamous July 25 telephone call when Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Biden and a debunked conspiracy theory from the 2016 election. But Bolton wasn’t running these negotiations. The man in charge was his rival for Trump’s favor, Mulvaney.
At the time, Trump and his allies were still insisting there was no quid pro quo in their dealings with Ukraine. Mulvaney’s problems go beyond one bungled news conference, though. He’s a terrible chief of staff. Make that “acting” chief of staff; he’s still on probation after 11 months in the position.
