Ukraine scandal

The Ukraine scandal involved allegations that President Donald Trump pressured Ukraine's government to investigate a political rival, Joe Biden, and his son. In 2019, it was revealed that Trump and his associates sought investigations in Ukraine in exchange for military aid and a White House meeting. This raised concerns about abuse of power and interfering in foreign elections. The scandal led to Trump's impeachment by the House of Representatives for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, though he was acquitted by the Senate in 2020. The incident highlighted issues of political integrity and foreign influence in U.S. governance.
