Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the house of Representatives, said Thursday that President trump had admitted bribery in the Democratic led investigation into the Touman scandal, a charge that could be impeached under the US Constitution.
"The bribe is to release or block military aid in exchange for a public statement of a false investigation into the election. That's bribery, "Pelosi said in a press conference. On Wednesday, Trump's impeachment investigation held its first public hearing.
"What the president has admitted and what he calls' perfection 'is completely wrong in my opinion. It's bribery, "Pelosi said.
The Democratic Party is examining whether trump, in order to pressure Ukraine to carry out two investigations in his favor, abused the power of the president to withhold $391 million in military aid to Ukraine, which had been approved by the United States Congress to help American allies fight against Russian backed separatists in eastern Ukraine. The money was later provided to Ukraine.
