Back in August 2019, which seems like a long time ago considering the rapidly changing news cycle, a whistleblower filed a complaint about President Trump’s conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that occurred on July 25, 2019.

The whistleblower didn’t work for the White House and was not directly involved with the call but cited "more than half a dozen officials" who were "deeply concerned" about potential abuse of the law.

This gist of the complaint was that President Trump had blocked nearly $400 million in military aid to Ukraine while pushing Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden, who was then running for President.

The Biden family was linked to numerous shady deals in Ukraine. In 2017, Hunter Biden was paid $83,000 per month to be on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, despite no experience in the energy sector or in Ukraine. Burisma was under investigation for striking shady deals.
