Wrong and wrong.

He slowed down military aid while trying to get the EU to give more since stopping Russian aggression is far more imperative to them than it is to us. The key to this is that the Ukrainians never knew about it.

To the best of my knowledge a President can predicate a meeting on anything he wants. Please feel free to quote which law says otherwise. I'll wait.

1. That is one of several excuses (none under oath) he used for the military aid, yet he never showed any proof he tried to get EU spending increased in that time AND the EU and European nations have outspent the US on the Ukraine by a large margin.
2. He can't predicate any official act on a personal benefit. There are rules against even using any public property for campaigning.
