Trump releases earlier call, showing Ukraine president was eager to meet
On Friday morning, as the second day of public impeachment hearings began, the White House released a summary of a second, earlier, conversation between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. While Trump has suggested the document would help clear him in the ongoing impeachment proceedings, it simply showed how eager Zelensky was to meet the American president, which actually could bolster the case that a White House meeting was part of a quid pro quo for the investigations the Trump administration sought from Ukraine.
