In the short April phone call there is no mention of Joe Biden or corruption, but Donald Trump does note that he once hosted the Miss Universe contest in Ukraine.

Testimony in the impeachment inquiry has shown that the Ukrainians considered it imperative to secure a White House meeting for Zelensky, an important show of support from a key ally for a new President establishing his government.

The US House inquiry focuses on whether Trump abused his power by trying to pressure the Ukrainian leader. Trump then asked for investigations of Ukrainian election interference and, later, of the Bidens and Burisma.Trump has repeatedly said the July 25 call was "perfect" and has denied any wrongdoing. He said earlier this week he would release what he called a "transcript" of his April call with Zelensky.

The Ukraine call in question was in July. Why are they releasing the one in April? LOL

So therefore it is completely and utterly irrelevant to the allegations that have been made.

‘Insane Trump haters’ won’t defeat the US president | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says ‘insane’ Donald Trump “haters” won’t bring the president down with their continual “fake news”.\n\nIt comes as the first public hearings in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump commenced on Thursday.\n\nThe impeachment inquiry is assessing whether Mr Trump abused his office by improperly pressuring Ukraine to launch an investigation into presidential candidate Joe Biden.\n\nMr Bolt said this is just another example of Democrats simply “trying to get Trump sacked”. \n\n“Don't count again on the Democrats getting Donald Trump sacked, not over this,” he said. \n\nMr Bolt said a clear objective for the Democrats wanting Donald Trump impeached is because he would “smash them” if he were to run for re-election in 2020. \n\n“Don't believe all that you hear on the mainstream media about Trump,” Mr Bolt said. \n\nImage: Associated Press Well quite frankly Trump screw up in Syria isn’t fake. He openly has no clue what he is doing and Christians there are being killed, which he openly ignores. Any true Christian is not going to support Trump while fellow Christians are being killed He’s right you know Trump is enough to bring Trump down. How will the haters cope with another 5 years Q+

Donald Trump ignores impeachment inquiry to host Turkey's Recep Tayyip ErdoganUS President Donald Trump on Wednesday ignored the first public hearings into the impeachment inquiry, where a key witness said Mr Trump told a diplomat he 'cared more' about Ukraine investigating his Democratic rival than about the country itself. So no actual evidence of any quid pro quo or anything else remotely illegal, of course. Just sooking from these hired help functionaries. Newsflash: they don't get to set foreign policy. The president does. If they don;t like it they can resign, no-one will care if they do. You can’t impeach a President based upon someone’s opinion
