Aid was withheld for 55 days.  And was not contingent upon either an investigation or a public statement supporting an  investigation.  Neither took place.  There was no investigation before or after the release of military aid,  nor was there ever a statement (public or private) pledging an investigation into the 2016 election (and the Ukraine effort to defeat Trump in that election), or Hunter Biden or Berisma   . . .    no investigation   . . .   no pledge or statement for an investigation. 

Secondly,  there was no presidential demand for with investigations or a statement or that is exactly what would have happened. 

Zelinsky,  Ukraine's president,  is on record saying there was no pressure from Trump for either an investigation or a statement. 

 Trump's statement to Sondland was confirmed to day, precisely these words:  "I want nothing.  I want no quid pro quo,  I want Zelensky to do the right thing.  I want him to do what he was elected to do."
