Trump Denies Quid Pro Quo for Ukraine, but Envoys Had Their Doubts

By PETER BAKER

While President Trump has denied any quid pro quo in pushing Ukraine to investigate his foes, text messages indicate that his own team saw it otherwise.

New Information on Trump’s $25,000 Gift to Florida Official

Documents obtained this week by The New York Times, including a copy of Mr. Trump’s check, at least partly undercut a timeline that looked like a quid pro quo.

“It’s like I keep in touch with my family, and I have an extended family by 2,000 children. Well, friends. 2,000 friends. I like getting to help people in their careers. I write great letters of recommendation and have helped many people get into many different jobs, medical schools, grad schools, etc.
I tell my students that there are only 6 words they need to know to be happy in life. Those 6 words are ‘Quid Pro Quo,’ you get something for something. And the other 3 are really important, ‘Scratch your itch.’ Not society’s itch. Not your parents’ itch. Your itch. If you pay attention to those two things, you’ll be happy and successful.”‪#‎WolverinesOfAnnArbor‬ 

Iran says it has 5,000 centrifuges operational

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has claimed that his country is running more than 5,000 centrifuges for enriching uranium, suggesting an expansion of the Iranian nuclear programme. State media quoted him as saying the world powers had agreed that Iran could have up to 6,000 centrifuges at the Natanz nuclear plant without it endangering continuing nuclear talks. The International Atomic Energy Agency has so far confirmed that about 3,000 to 3,500 centrifuges were operational at the Natanz plant. The five United Nations veto powers plus Germany have continually called for a freeze on the Iranian atomic programme.
