“I think it’s not incorrect or wrong,” Paul said on “CBS This Morning,” referring to Trump’s request. “What I would say that aid that we give to other countries should be contingent upon behavior and whether or not we should have Ukraine trying to eradicate corruption, yes.”

“I think everybody has different ways that they would approach things,” he added when asked if he would have made the same request of Kiev if he were president.
