Here’s a quick guide to help decipher the major questions about the Ukraine document
A memo of the call between Trump and Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky. Photo: Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP/Getty Images On Wednesday, the White House released a “transcript” of a key July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky — or more accurately, a memo summarizing the call.
CAUTION: A Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion. The text in this document records the notes and recollections of Situation Room Duty Officers and NSC policy staff assigned to listen and memorialize the conversation in written form as the conversation takes place. A number of factors can affect the accuracy of the record, including poor telecommunications connections and variations in accent and/or interpretation.
What is CrowdStrike? After Zelensky told Trump that Ukraine would like to buy more Javelin missiles, the anti-tank weapons that it first acquired in 2018, Trump responded by saying, “I would like you to do us a favor though.” Then he launched into a fairly inscrutable monologue mentioning CrowdStrike and former special counsel Robert Mueller.
Who’s the prosecutor Trump’s talking about? In the call, Trump references Ukraine’s “very good” former prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. The former prosecutor general in Ukraine, Shokin is at the center of Trump’s allegation that former Vice-President Joe Biden improperly used his power to help his son, Hunter Biden. As Trump tells it, Biden was pushing for Shokin to be fired at the same time that he was investigating a natural gas firm with the younger Biden on its board.
