The White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said Thurdsay that nearly $400 millions dollars of US aid to Ukraine had been delayed in order to pressure the country into investigating the Democrats.



This declaration undercut Mr. Trump’s repeated denials of any quid pro quo linked to withholding the Ukrainian military aid.



This caused chaos in Washington as Democrats and some Republicans said this was damaging to Mr. Trump.



I’ve included an MSNBC published Youtube video containing that very admission. This will allow you to hear it first hand before you read on.



So, after the press briefing, it appears the White House legal team asked Mr. Mulvaney to revise his statement.



The revised statement reads like this, “Let me be clear, there was absolutely no quid pro quo between Ukrainian military aid and any investigation into the 2016 election”.



Here is a tweet by Jim Acosta CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent with Mulvaney’s full revised statement.
