On Monday, the president tried to paint the scandal as a media-driven attack and again denied any wrongdoing.

reported that a concerned intelligence official filed a formal complaint after overhearing Trump make a"promise" while on a call with a foreign leader in July.

Trump has since confirmed that he spoke with Zelensky and that he discussed the Bidens and corruption in Ukraine, describing the the call as a"nice conversation." However, he has denied pressuring Zelensky to open any investigation into Biden or offering military aid in return for such a probe. Trump is under pressure from Democrats to release the transcript of the phone call with Zelensky, with party leaders even considering whether the alleged offense would be worthy of impeachment.

The South Carolina senator added that he believes Trump"is going to blow you away with his willingness to disclose and be transparent about this phone call, because I think he did nothing wrong and he has nothing to hide."

He actually needs to release the whistle blower to the Congress. Nothing short of that will satisfy the People!

What is he afraid of. Impeachment

J7st realease the recording and stop your nonsense

That’s because he knows he did wrong

He also could very easily provide his income tax records for examination. He also could very easily go to a psychiatrist to be treated for his psychosis. But, he feeds on drama. Imagine a day where he didn't offend anyone. As if.

Not allowed 2, im sure

He could very easily release his tax returns as he promised but he’d rather not.

Like the taxes...

I thought he was releasing transcript?

It’s not only about the phone call and don’t you forget it.
