Washington Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Sunday aggressively denied that he admitted last week a quid pro quo between President Donald Trump and Ukraine, saying again that he was misunderstood and that no such agreement occurred.
During a White House press conference on Thursday afternoon, Mulvaney said Trump held up an aid package to Ukraine in exchange for an investigation into an unsubstantiated theory that Ukraine, not Russia, was responsible for hacking Democratic Party emails in 2016.
Mulvaney confesses to quid pro quo: Get over it 02:08"Reporters will use their language all the time my language never said quid pro quo," Mulvaney said. "It is legitimate for the President to want to know what's going on with the ongoing investigation into the server -- everybody acknowledges that," he told Wallace.
