Testimony - Trump made Ukraine aid contingent on Biden investigation

The senior U.S. diplomat in Ukraine said Tuesday he was told release of military aid was contingent on public declarations from Ukraine that it would investigate the Bidens and the 2016 election, contradicting President Trump’s denial that he used the money as leverage for political gain.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpos ... story.htmlTaylor said he spoke to Ambassador Gordon Sondland, the U.S. envoy to the European Union.
“During that phone call, Amb. Sondland told me that President Trump had told him that he wants President [Volodymyr] Zelensky to state publicly that Ukraine will investigate Burisma and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election,” Taylor said in the statement.
That fact that Trump wanted Zelensky to state publicly that there was an investigation of Biden says it all.
How does a President of the United States refuse to acknowledge the US intelligence reports that verified Russian's interference in our 2016 elections and instead chooses to pursue tin hat conspiracy theories that have been debunked?
