“Once again, the media decided to misinterpret my words in order to develop a biased political witch-hunt against President Trump,” Tulvan quotes TASS.
According to him, there is no connection between the investigation of interference in the 2016 elections and the freezing of military assistance to Ukraine.
“The only reason we kept the money was concerns about the lack of support from other countries, as well as about corruption,” he added.
It was previously reported that Mulvaney said there was a link between the freezing of military aid to Ukraine and the investigation into the Democratic Party.
