That's what they found so far.

Until a real investigation can be performed we may never know.

Obviously P01135809 says that he wasn't involved.  He never is when there is trouble or any hint  (or actual) illegality.

It doesn't have to be a "bribe" or even a quid-pro-quo.  It just set an incredible precedent when the sitting POTUS can do business with countries we do trade with or our are "enemies".

Part of P01135809's thing was ignoring "norms" because he never had to follow any kind of rules or norms in his life.  The issue becomes how that then affects the NEXT POTUS who decides he has unlimited power.

Part of that answer is holding P01135809 accountable and part of it is congress passing or reinforcing actual laws to prevent such things from happening in the future.
