Yesterday he said it was because of the corruption in the Ukrainian government. Changing his story isn't helping.

Makes no difference another nothing burger for our President but will knock joe out of the race
There was probably a few reasons to hold back and get a clearer picture of who he was sending money too. Isn the point of electing representation of our country’s needs in the first place. As far as i’m concerned, he can negotiate with a foreign power however he sees fit.

I don't see these two answers as mutually exclusive. I can see withholding military aid because a) corruption is sapping the funds from the Ukraine that should go to defense and b)therefore the Ukraine isn't paying its fair share
I can't find where he said that yesterday. Do you have a link?
He actually said both previously.
You can have multiple conditions for withholding funds, Why would you think he changed his story? Are you a dope?
President Trump to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky:
“I am temporarily withholding military funds for two reasons:
1. I am in talks with our European Allies regarding paying their fair share of funds earmarked for Ukraine’s defense, and
2. I need to have assurances that the rampant corruption reported in the past has been addressed and is under control.”
Zelensky to President Trump:
“Mr. President, I understand but regarding assurances of our anti-corruption efforts, would that include the former US Vice-President and his son?”
