Trump-Zelensky Phone Call Transcript Released — 'I Would Like You to Do Us a Favor'
The White House releases a memorandum of Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which Trump says 'I would like you to do us a favor though' and asks Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter, as well as a debunked conspiracy theory about Democratic Party servers. The call was placed one day after Trump froze $391 million in military aid to Ukraine. The transcript becomes the central evidence in Trump's first impeachment for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
