As president of the United States, Donald Trump attempted to speak with the Ukranian Volodymyr Zelensky about what he thought was dirty dealings in the Ukraine by Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden,  when he served an energy company in the Ukraine.

Trump was trying to barter $250 million in military aid in exchange for information.  

Constitutionally, it is wrong for a standing President to solicit information about a presidential candidate is potentially his competitor.

In the summer of 2019, President Trump repeatedly pressured the president of Ukraine by phone to investigate Joe Biden ’s son, according to people familiar with the matter, urging Volodymyr Zelensky about eight times to work with Rudy Giuliani on a probe that could hamper Mr. Trump’s potential 2020 opponent.

“He told him that he should work with [Mr. Giuliani] on Biden, and that people in Washington wanted to know” if his lawyer’s assertions that Mr. Biden acted improperly as vice president were true, one of the people said. Mr. Giuliani has suggested Mr. Biden’s pressure on the Ukraine to fight corruption had to do with an investigation of a gas company for which his son was a director. A Ukrainian official this year said he had no evidence of wrongdoing by Mr. Biden or his son Hunter Biden.
