I know what it means. Do you? ex·tor·tion /ik'stôrSH(?)n/ Learn to pronounce noun the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats. "he used bribery and extortion to build himself a huge, art-stuffed mansion" What he wanted was Zelinski to announce an investigation of Joe and Hunter Biden, his main political rival, on CNN. The threat was he'd NEVER receive the aid congress had already authorized, that he desperately needed to repel Russia. It was extortion.
