Memo: Trump prodded Ukraine leader on Biden claims

None

U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly prodded Ukraine's new leader to work with Rudy Giuliani and his attorney general to investigate Democratic political rival Joe Biden, according to a rough transcript summarizing the call released Wednesday.

 

In the call, Trump raised unsubstantiated allegations that the former vice president sought to interfere with a Ukrainian prosecutor's investigation of his son Hunter.

 

"There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that," Trump said to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
