“That’s not what the president said in the transcript and you’ve read it and you know that it’s not what the president said,” Sekulow responded. “And Joe Biden bragged on television that he gave a prosecutor in Ukraine to be fired in six hours or a billion dollars was going to be withheld. Do you think that’s a quid pro quo?”

“And think it’s absolutely a quid pro quo,” Cuomo conceded, “but it wasn’t done for personal advantage.”
