President Donald Trump on Friday said he would turn over the transcript of a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky which proceeded the July conversation between the two leaders that ignited House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.
“I had a second call with the president which actually, I believe, came before this one, and now they all want that one, and if they want it, I'll give it to them,” Trump told reporters outside the White House, presumably referring to congressional impeachment investigators. “I haven't seen it recently, but I'll give it to them.”
The president’s call over the summer with Zelensky — during which Trump pressured his foreign counterpart to investigate unfounded charges of corruption related to former Vice President Joe Biden — was detailed in an explosive whistleblower complaint that sparked Democratic lawmakers’ impeachment probe.
But the president also placed an earlier congratulatory call to Zelensky in the hours after his election on April 21, and although various reporting has stated that Trump raised the issue of Ukrainian corruption, little is publicly known about the details of the discussion.
Since there is no way that this “second call” will exonerate Trump, I wonder who he will be throwing under the bus?
Turn over your tax returns too!
If you believe that I have some 3 year old taxes to show you.
Nobody’s tired of his crap ?
this guy don't give a crap about anything but himself and he knows he has enough money to buy himself out of anything.
Okay, but was it perfect?
Just release all of them.
Hoping it will go as swimmingly as the last one he released.
The transcript or “the transcript”?
Whatever
The full call or a redacted call... lol
If he submits it as evidence and it is not able to be confirmed as factual he should be charged with perjury.
He needs to hand over the first one
And I’m sure that audio tape hasn’t been tampered with or edited in any way, shape or form
Forget the call turn over your taxes
NDarwish099 Let's see the 1st real transcripts ?
realDonaldTrump
Not
“Transcript”
And what about his taxes? We are still waiting for those..just saying.
This is a lie. But it's politco, no one surprised!
a made up call?
Why does the media keep reporting what this liar says knowing he never does what he says. How about this, he says he will do this and that but do not allow his fat face on the news lying. If he ever does do what he promised THEN allow him to speak
He hasn't released the July 25 one yet.
He says a lot of things, mainly lies.
Is this going to the same time he releases his taxes?
Sure he will
We don’t have a first transcript, maybe a memo. Where is the rest of the conversation? I can read the memo in 10 minutes, I understand the meeting lasted much longer.
How about a transcript of the call everyone is talking about?
He's so full of it!
So? That's like a murderer saying here's a guy I didn't murder. You're still a murderer.
Big deal. it's the formal congratulatory call after the Ukrainian won the election. Probably nothing in it to begin with. How about turning over the unedited transcript of his July 25 call?
Now that he thinks he can issue another summary rather than the actual transcript which may already have been altered.
Taxes realDonaldTrump
I'm still waiting for him to release the actual transcripts of the July 25th call. We've only seen excerpted notes of the Trump Administration's choosing so far.
Won’t happen. 🙄
This second, earlier call is Smoke screen. It was a congratulatory call and probably much tamer. He needs to turn over the full transcript, not the memo they already gave congress. It’s incomplete and I’m sure full of more extortion talk by trump to Zelensky.
🍊🍄should release his tax return 😉
