with the president of the Ukraine,

but denies any wrongdoing.

Democrats say there's one way to find out,

release the transcriptsof that phone call.

- The conversation I hadwas largely congratulatory.

- [Amber] The Trumpadministration is defending

the July 25th conversation,which the Wall Street Journal

says Mr. Trump pressuredthe Ukrainian president

about eight times to investigatepolitical rival Joe Biden.

of working to get rid ofa Ukrainian prosecutor

who was reportedly looking into a company

where Joe Biden's son Hunterserved as a board member.

I'll beat him like a drum.

in a tweet calling thereport a "media con"

and saying there was no pressure.

also coming to Mr. Trump's defense.

The incident also coincideswith a whistleblower complaint

that reportedly involvesMr. Trump's phone call

with a foreign leader.

Democrats have not been able to obtain

that complaint from the administration,

but want to see if the twoincidents are connected.

to the Ukrainians and that impeachment

may be the only solution.

at the same time thathe is trying to browbeat

a foreign leader intodoing something illicit,

then that may be the only remedy.

and to the extent we shouldprovide support to Ukraine.

the administration untilThursday to turn over

that whistleblower complaintor face more investigations.
