White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney insisted he never said the Trump administration expected a quid pro quo between U.S. aid to Ukraine and that Kiev launching investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden during a withering interview on "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace.
Mulvaney repeatedly insisted his remarks at a Thursday press conference were taken out of context, saying he never used the "reporters" language of "quid pro quo."
"That’s not what I said. That’s what people said that I said," he told a skeptical Wallace early on in the interview.
