Quid pro quo. The term is coming up this week in connection to President Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Here's what it means.
It's come up this week in connection to President Donald Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to a White House transcript of the call, Trump asked for a"favor" -- help from Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a 2020 contender. "There is very strong evidence that there was a quid pro quo here," CNN chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said on CNN Wednesday.
There was only one message that that president of Ukraine got from that call," Schiff said. Did Trump violate law?Federal election campaign law makes it a crime for a foreign national -- directly or indirectly --"to make a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value" and for"a person to solicit, accept, or receive a contribution or donation...from a foreign national.
