Ukranian Foreign Minister Says There Was No Quid Pro Quo, and Trump Says That's the End of Impeachment

President Trump touted a news story Thursday night that he said should “end” the Democrats’ impeachment fantasies.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko reportedly said earlier on Thursday that U.S. ambassador Gordon Sondland did not explicitly offer the Ukraine government a "quid pro quo," throwing cold water on the Dems' main argument for impeachment.

According to Reuters, Prystaiko told Interfax Ukraine that Sondland did not link military aid to Ukraine with opening an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.

"Ambassador Sondland did not tell us, and certainly did not tell me, about a connection between the assistance and the investigations. You should ask him," Prystaiko said, meaning Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union.

Trump added that "little Adam Schiff" "has a ten inch neck."

Fact check: True.
