The White House would not comment on whether Trump demanded an investigation in the April 21 call. ADTrump has said he would release a transcript of the first call, but the White House had no comment Wednesday on when, or if, that might happen. Trump also pushed Zelenskiy to investigate Biden and his son. Trump has denied that an investigation of Biden was a condition for releasing military aid as a quid pro quo. When Trump called Zelenskiy on July 25 to congratulate the Ukrainian president on “a great victory” after his Servant of the People party won control of Ukrainian parliament, Zelenskiy downplayed his discomfort.
