Trump denounces 'scam' impeachment inquiry in angry outburst hours before Ukraine transcript to be released.
In one sentence stretching to 86 words, Trump suggested he had not put any pressure on the East European country to investigate Joe Biden, but that, if he had, it would have been okay to do so. He wrote: “Why is such a focus put on 2nd and 3rd hand witnesses, many of whom are Never Trumpers, or whose lawyers are Never Trumpers, when all you have to do is read the phone call with the Ukrainian President and see first hand?”
