When Democrats accused the President of withholding military aid to Ukraine, they were trying to divert attention away from the Obama administration's corruption in Ukraine.

They falsely accused the President of doing the same thing that Biden actually admitted to at a meeting of the Communist Council for Globalism, known as the Council on Foreign Relations.
