Mick Mulvaney defends Ukraine statements, says he didn't offer to resign

Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Sunday again denied any "quid pro quo" in the handling of U.S. military funds to Ukraine, though acknowledging his White House news conference last week hadn't been "perfect."

"That's not what I said. That's what people said that I said," he told host Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" of his Thursday news conference, claiming that "quid pro quo" was "reporters'" language, not his.

"I have news for everybody: Get over it," Mulvaney had told reporters Thursday at the White House. "There's going to be political influence in foreign policy." Since then he's taken heat for his comments, which appeared to admit to a quid pro quo, despite strong denials from the Trump administration.
