The president clearly wanted Zelensky to act in the form of investigations and to demonstrate he would be different from past Ukrainian leaders in combating corruption. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt nations on earth. No one disputes that.

Ensuring the new administration headed by an anti-corruption candidate is routing out corruption in a country the U.S. sends hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars is in our interests. Period.

Corruption is rampant in this Administration. Just look at all the Trump associates who have been indicted, convicted and/or sentenced. Look at the disbanded Trump Foundation and Trump University. Read Michael Lewis’ “The Fifth Risk”. Respectfully, a constituent.
