Chris Wallace hits Mulvaney for attacking media ‘quid pro quo’ coverage

Published October 20, 2019 5:36pm ET



Fox News anchor Chris Wallace pressed acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney for attacking the media over the coverage of admission of a quid pro quo between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Mulvaney told reporters Thursday that millions of dollars in U.S. military aid for Ukraine “was held up temporarily” for “completely legitimate” reasons. He also urged those concerned about the “quid pro quo” to “get over it.” He later retracted those remarks and accused the media of misconstruing those comments.
