Transcript is out: Trump told Ukraine's president to use Giuliani and Barr 'to get to the bottom' of Biden's involvement in Ukraine company

President Donald Trump repeatedly pressed the president of Ukraine to re-open an investigation into a Ukrainian energy company to focus on any involvement by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, according to the transcript of a July telephone call between the two leaders. In the 30-minute call, reduced to a five-page transcript released by the administration Wednesday, Trump also told President Volodymyr Zelensky that he was directing his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and Attorney General William Barr, to assist in the inquiry “to get to the bottom of it." The transcript was released the day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry.
