While the White House's publicly-released notes of the call show the US president made no direct mention of offering aid in exchange for Zelensky's assistance in probing former Vice President Joe Biden, they confirm Trump brought up how the US does "a lot for Ukraine" right before asking Zelensky to do him a "favor" by investigating Biden and discrediting the former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe.
Um... no, that wasn't the favor; Trump asked about CrowdStrike, not Biden. And Trump never asked Zelinsky to discredit the already discreditable Robert "Dirty Cop" Mueller. Trump referred to Mueller's testimony, accurately describing it as "an incompetent performance" and then said, "They say a lot of started with the Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it's very important you do it if that's possible."
So that paragraph is wrong from beginning to end. Do they do any better with the facts in the rest of the article? I don't know, because with such a poor start, I didn't bother to read any further.
