President Donald Trump said he’d release the transcript of a July phone call with the Ukrainian president on Wednesday, and an unidentified whistle-blower who complained to authorities about the call has asked to testify to Congress.
By releasing the transcript, Trump seeks to defuse a ballooning controversy over allegations he sought foreign help to smear a political rival. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday announced that her chamber would begin a formal impeachment inquiry.
