(CNN) A nearly 90-minute recording released Saturday of President Donald Trump at a 2018 donor dinner that included indicted businessmen he has claimed he doesn't know features Trump speaking animatedly about removing the US ambassador to Ukraine -- at one point stating, "Get rid of her!" I don't care," the President says at a dinner with donors at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC. Parnas's attorney, Joseph Bondy, said in a tweet Saturday that he released the audio "given its importance to our national interest." The recording was made by another Giuliani associate, Igor Fruman, and shared with Parnas shortly after the dinner, according to Bondy. During that discussion, Trump asks a person who appears to be Parnas how long Ukraine would "last in fight against Russia."
