Another "pressured" foreign president?


Who actually "wrote" this one from this bi-partisan committee of Congress, and how is it "different" from the current scandalous behavior of persons within this admin? Also not familiar with any actual "withholding" of monies or "good will" to this country, but interested if it also represents a threat. Perhaps it was discussed here way back when? I'm just curious as to this community's consensus though seriously no fan of this "whistleblower gone wrong" nor his aggregated "complaints and document site" that jeopardizes any and all government's national security.
