Trump Says He’ll Release Ukraine Call Transcript on Wednesday

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said he would release a complete transcript on Wednesday of his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, which is the subject of a congressional investigation and a whistle-blower complaint from an unidentified intelligence official.

The House probe of Trump’s interactions with Zelenskiy is focused on whether the president pressured Ukraine to re-open an investigation linked to the family of a political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, in exchange for restoring U.S. military aid.

U.S. stocks pared declines after Trump tweeted the news.
