No. He stated his presumption. That is not the same as he had fact based evidence. Also there is nothing wrong with the President putting conditions on the release or awarding of foreign aid provided the conditions are legal. Asking the Ukraine to meet treaty obligations is not against the law.

It seems MSM and Democrats do not know what a quid-pro-quo is. It is not for example offering what you have a right to offer in exchange for what you have a right to receive from someone who has the right to give it.

Telling a lawn service “I will pay you $45.00 to mow the grass if you also weed.” Is not quid-pro-quo.
Telling him “I will give you my oxy if you break into my neighbor’s house. If you say no I will say you stole the pills.”

Actually, I think he realized that this was a form of “quid-pro-quo”, if the aid was dependent on them doing ANYTHING, it was quid-pro-quo. So if he earlier said there was none, he has to change his testimony to acknowledge that the aid WAS being withheld for SOME reason.

But it does not appear that he said it was an illegal qpq, or even based on investigating biden, which Trump never asked.
