    Was there a quid pro quo with Ukraine? Three questions.

    Oct 22, 2019 4 minutes

    A key part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump involves three Latin words: quid pro quo, literally “this for that.” Did President Trump withhold aid from Ukraine to pressure it to launch an investigation that might benefit him politically?

    Democrats charge that the president abused his office by improperly leveraging U.S. foreign policy to try to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and to pursue a debunked theory that Ukraine, not Russia, was behind the hacking of Democratic Party emails in 2016.

    President Trump’s defenders insist that while the president may have asked the Ukrainian leader for help with certain matters, a quid pro quo, but that’s a common feature of foreign policy – an assertion he later tried to walk back.
