BREAKING: "I would like you to do us a favor...find out what happened with this whole situation in Ukraine...about Biden's son...whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great," Trump said to Zelensky, per the official account released today.n.pr/2lGN46X
NEW: Trump then told the Ukrainian president that he would have Giuliani and BARR [!!!] make contact with him and "we will get to the bottom of it [opening the Biden probe in Ukraine]. I'm sure you will figure it out."

"I would like you to do us a favor..."

Not only did Trump ask President Zelensky to open an inquiry into the Bidens, he also wanted Ukraine to investigate AMERICAN cybersecurity firm, Crowdstrike, who worked for the DNC in 2016.

WOW.
Zelensky: "Thank you for support in the area of defense...we are almost ready to buy more Javelins [anti-tank missiles to defend against Russia] from the US..."

Trump's very next words: "I would like you to do us a favor..."

@Delavegalaw The call memo also confirms @joshrogin's reporting from May that Trump and his allies smeared the US Amb to Ukraine, career Foreign Service officer Marie Yovanovitch, as part of their efforts to link Ukraine to Biden to help Trump's reelection effort.

NEW: Texts from Volker, Taylor, Sondland, and others re Trump and Ukraine: bit.ly/2VfZ9h4

"Heard from WH–assuming Pres Z convinces Trump he will investigate..."what happened" in 2016, we will nail down a date for DC visit."

"Potus really wants the deliverable."

 TAYLOR: Are we now saying that security aid and WH meetings are conditioned on investigations?
SONDLAND: Call me

9/8
 TAYLOR: The nightmare is they give the [public statement drafted Giuliani/others] and don't get US security aid. The Russians love it.

NEW: Two of Trump’s top envoys to Ukraine [Volker and Sondland] drafted a statement in Aug for President Zelensky to release that would have committed Ukraine to pursuing investigations sought by Trump into his political rivals [Biden].
by @nytmike #Maddow nyti.ms/2V9ih07
@nytmike The statement they wanted Zelensky to release would have committed Ukraine to investigating Burisma, which had employed Hunter Biden, as well as the debunked conspiracy that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Hillary Clinton. JFC.

NEW: Trump had the ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, dismissed after Giuliani and other Trump allies claimed she was blocking Biden probe.

State officials were told this spring that her removal was a priority for Trump.

@rebeccaballhaus
@rebeccaballhaus Recall this May 7, 2019 report by @joshrogin: US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was abruptly recalled ahead of her scheduled departure after she became a target of political attacks by Trump allies, right-wing media, and Don Jr.

One of my FB friends response to Trumps most recent corruption! I’m so exhausted arguing with his supporters. Was up all night until 6:30am bc social media had my adrenaline all fired up. I cant wait until this is over, I dont know how much more I can take.
Any advice on this would b much appreciated. Buckle up, It’s long.
”As far as re-opening an investigation the allegations happened on foreign soil and we have a treaty with Ukraine that allows the president to ask the leader to investigate something that he believes has caused
malice towards the United States. For example the meddling of the 2016 election by the DNC which has been proven in the steel dossier. Below is the actual transcript between our president and the Ukrainian president.

Trump Asked Ukraine President To Help With DOJ Probe Of 2016 Election Interference thefederalist.com/2019/09/25/tru…
“I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike … I guess you have one of your wealthy people …”
“The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it.”

As the editor in chief of ProPublica, I’m always telling reporters to read their work out loud. As an experiment, I tried that with today’s rough transcript of President Trump’s phone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. The results are illuminating.
Trump begins by praising Zelenskyy for doing a “terrific job,’’ in winning his election. Zelenskyy replies with a volley of the sort of shameless flattery Trump is known to love.
“You are absolutely right Mr. President. We did win big and worked hard for this. We worked a lot but I would like to confess to you that I had an opportunity to learn from you. We used quite a few of your skills and knowledge and were able to use it as an example’’

Is anyone else thrilled that the NSC, the world's most advanced spy agency, still uses Courier typeface ? games-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/def…
What are the odds that an "eyes only" document would be released to the general public? I dunno... lets ask Trump's fixer at the DoJ.
straight up mob dialog; "I think it's.something you want to look at but the United States has been very·very good to Ukraine. I wouldn't say that it's reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very.good to Ukraine."

Trump asked the president of Ukraine to work with Rudy Giuliani and William Barr to “look into” his political rival, Joe Biden, according to a rough transcript of a call between the two leaders, @justinsink reports.

Read the rough transcript here:

bloomberg.com/amp/news/artic…
The rough transcript includes “the notes and recollections of Situation Room Duty Officers and NSC policy staff assigned to listen and memorialize the conversations in written form as the conversation takes place,” the unclassified document says.
Voice recognition software was used on the Trump/Zelensky call.

The rough transcript the White House released was developed via the voice software along with aides from the White House national security team who were listening in, per a senior admin official.
