Diplomats say White House transcript of Ukraine call was 'substantively correct'

Two career diplomats who were involved with U.S. policy in Ukraine testified that the transcript of President Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky released by the White House was “substantively correct.”

The transcript of the call, which is at the center of the Democrats’ impeachment investigation, shows no explicit quid pro quo between Trump and Zelensky but does show Trump pressuring Zelensky to investigate corruption allegations into 2020 Democratic front-runner Joe Biden. Trump has said the call was “perfect” and decried the impeachment process as “the greatest political witch hunt in history.”
