Trump this weekend admitted to talking about Joe Biden with Ukraine’s President. But not the part about withholding arms from that country until it agreed to investigate his political rival and his son. Which at this point may or may not be part of the story. Which we don’t know because Trump’s Justice Department is withholding from everybody any further details brought forth by a whistleblower and the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, who tagged the matter “urgent”. Trump continues to insist his part in the conversation was “pitch perfect”.

Here’s a clip of Trump explaining himself, in which he strangely uses the word “largely” an incredibly large number of times. As in:

The conversation I had was largely congratulatory, with largely corruption, all of the corruption taking place and largely the fact that we don’t want our people like Vice President Biden and his son creating to the corruption already in the Ukraine”.
