Trump also withheld aid when trying to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political rivals. During a July 2019 phone call, Zelenskyy told Trump he was almost ready to buy more Javelins from the U.S. Trump replied by asking for "a favor," which was to collect dirt on Biden, a potential 2020 presidential race opponent at the time.
In January 2020, the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office concluded that Trump abused his power by telling Zelenskyy the U.S. would provide Ukraine with security assistance and he would grant Zelenskyy a White House meeting only if Zelenskyy announced investigations into Trumps political rivals. The House impeached Trump for this matter in 2019; the Senate acquitted him in 2020.
