According to Lev Parnas, Trump was never interested in fighting corruption in Ukraine.

The sole purpose of the extortion effort managed by Rudy Giuliani was to force President Zelensky to announce an investigation of the Bidens.

When Parnas was tasked with the job of informing an aide to Zelensky of Trump’s demand, the threat wasn’t simply to withhold a meeting at the White House and military aid.

Lindelof told USA TODAY this week that he's told the story he wants to tell and has no interest in a second season, though he's "given my blessing" to HBO should it want to pursue a new installment with another writer-producer. »
