The White House's release of Trump's first Ukraine call runs into the president's own tweets
By 11 a.m., that effort had run intoTo start the day, the White House insisted Trump was too busy working to track Friday's hearing, which featured, the ousted ambassador to Ukraine. And it released a document summarizing Trump's first phone call with newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in April of this year, seeking to bolster its claim that Trump did nothing wrong in his dealings with the Eastern European leader, the subject of the House's impeachment inquiry.
"You know what? I have the right to speak," Trump told reporters. "I have freedom of speech just as other people do, but they’ve taken away the Republicans’ rights." The daylong exchange pulled attention away from the release of the initial call between Trump and Zelensky., which was blasted out moments before ousted ambassador Yovanovitch began testifying, was much more congratulatory, taking place hours after Zelensky's historic landslide election.
