Biden's call for Shokin's ouster is the premise of Trump's defense. Trump says pressuring Ukraine to investigate his 2020 political rival is reasonable because Biden may have been acting "corruptly" in pushing Shokin out.

So at least some Republican senators (now jurors) have known from the start that Trump's call to investigate Biden was unfounded and, yes, debunked.

At a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in March 2016, Victoria Nuland, the assistant secretary of state under President Barack Obama, testified about efforts to oust Shokin.

Nuland noted it was a U.S. priority to secure a "new prosecutor general who is committed” to “indicting and prosecuting the corrupt.” Nuland also said the $ 1 billion loan guarantee was pegged in part on “ensuring that the prosecutor general’s office gets cleaned up."

1/ Any Senator w a brain knows trump’s lawyers are lying about the firing of Shokin, and to think that
@LindseyGrahamSC and@SenRonJohnson haven't told trump many times the truth as to why Biden was tasked to fire Shokin doesn’t pass the@clairecmc@AriMelber@NicolleDWallace -
2/ smell test. Trump knows the truth, however, it doesn't fit his narrative.. Meanwhile, his lawyer continue to repeat and repeat the lie for the Fox low information audience, and to please trump. Be prepared for Trump to be repeating the lie at every rally until November.
