President Trump falsely claimed Ukraine’s president had cleared him of wrongdoing in an interview with Time magazine.
Said Trump: “The President of Ukraine has just again announced that President Trump has done nothing wrong with respect to Ukraine and our interactions or calls.”
In reality, Volodymyr Zelenskiy actually criticized Trump for holding up Ukraine’s military assistance and said Trump hurt his country by repeatedly calling it corrupt.
