The Quid Pro Quo - Trump Style

Before the texts between Taylor and Sondland on Sept. 8, Taylor said Sondland tried to explain to him that Trump “is a businessman.”

“When a businessman is about to sign a check to someone who owes him something, he said, the businessman asks that person to pay up before signing the check,” Taylor said Tuesday, quoting Sondland.

Kurt Volker had also referred to Trump in the same way, Taylor noted, adding that he argued his point to both men. The explanation they offered made “no sense,” Taylor said.

“The Ukrainians did not owe President Trump anything, and holding up security assistance for domestic political gain was crazy as I had said in my text messages to Ambassadors Sondland and Volker on September 9,” Taylor said.
