Campaign. He did not do that. And if he abused his power, most likely he would tell president zelensky that he was asking to help his president ial prospects . You would never engage in conduct nor explicitly say, in this case, president zelensky, im going to bribe you now, or im going to ask you for a bribe, or im now going to extort you. This is not the way these things work. Getting back to you, we talked about hunter biden. Hunter biden had been on the board of burisma going back to 2014, correct . Yes. President trump supported ukraine with aid and otherwise in both 2017 and 2018, correct . President trump has done a lot for ukraine. Yes. But sir, isnt it correct that
President Trump did not raise anything about hunter bid skpn his 2017 or 2018. He donnell thiidnt raise any o issues in 2017 or 2018 . I dont know that he did or he didnt.

administration s now? the real thing that s changed is the focus on border security in general and acknowledging that border security is critical to homeland security and actually trying to control the border. the messaging has changed. i personally participated in some of the transition meetings. my staff participated in all of the transition meetings. we made it very clear that if we dropped all of the initiatives that had been put in place over the last several years, that we would get an influx of mass migration that we would not be able to control. the current secretary mayorkas he was part of dhs before. he was ran cis. he clearly understands and knows how to control the border and what needs to take place. bret: so if that s all true, then what s the motivation, do you think? that s where you get into politics. i m not going to speculate on what anyone s motivation is but i do know that they were briefed. it was very clear. there are people involved in this process that have
