White House on Friday released a non-verbatim memo of Pres. Trump's first phone conversation with his new Ukrainian counterpart, a brief call in which, according to the memo, the two chatted amicably and made no mention of the Bidens or the 2016 election.
I will be releasing the transcript of the first, and therefore more important, phone call with the Ukrainian President before week’s end!Rep. Devin Nunes of California, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, read the call record out loud in his opening statement at Friday's impeachment hearing.
Trump, Schiff said, has"obstructed witnesses in their testimony and production of thousands and thousands of other records." Trump said he agreed, and cited his beauty pageant experience. “When I owned Miss Universe, they always had great people. Ukraine was always very well represented,” Trump said. The president-elect told Trump he'd practice his English ahead of the meeting, getting Trump to laugh.
