The president also said he could be convinced to release more information on an earlier conversation with Ukraine's president.

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that reporters should ask Mike Pence to release details of his conversations with Ukraine, seemingly drawing his vice president into the scandal that has engulfed the administration.

Trump also said he could be persuaded to release more information about an earlier conversation he had with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, while repeating that he did nothing inappropriate in his contacts with the foreign leader. The comments came hours after the White House released a memo detailing Trump’s July 25 conversation with Zelensky in which Trump pressured him to open an investigation into Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son. The document confirmed allegations that the president sought help from a foreign leader to investigate a political rival — allegations that convinced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to formally launch an impeachment inquiry into Trump.

Trump says he put 'no pressure' on Ukraine to investigate Biden's sonPresident Trump responded to questions about his phone calls with Ukraine and possible impeachment proceedings upon his arrival at the United Nations General Assembly. The president claimed he put 'no pressure' on the Ukrainian government to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's son. Maybe we should ask Putin for a transcript of the phone call... he certainly provided a bunch of emails last election. He’s the “go-to” guy. But the whole world knows, that the family Biden have some intrests in the Ukraine not only the son, also Biden himself. I think I’ll go to HLN for better news. Real things going on in the world

Trump acknowledges withholding funds from Ukraine'I think it's unfair that we put up the money,' Trump said. 'Then other people call me. They said, 'Oh, let it go.' And I let it go.' '...to investigate a political rival' And he changed his story. Again. Love how you say no evidence for Biden allegation(there is a tape) but you will report any and all insinuation WITHOUT evidence if it involves Trump. Bias much? WalkAwayFromDemocrats Trump2020
