White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said the complaint was “nothing more than a collection of accounts from various sources of events and press clippings stitched together.”

According to a VNA reporter in Washington, the White House on September 26 announced that the whistleblower's report to US intelligence officials about President Donald Trump's efforts to clarify former Vice President Joe Biden's actions from Ukraine showed "nothing improper".

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said the complaint was “nothing more than a collection of accounts from various sources about events and press clippings stitched together.”

Ms. Grisham emphasized that President Trump on September 25 released a rough transcript of his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy because Mr. Trump “had nothing to hide.”

“The White House will continue to push back against the incitement and misinformation coming from Democrats and many major media outlets,” she said.

On September 25, the White House released a transcript of a July phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, an incident that is stirring up American politics and putting the White House owner at risk of impeachment.

According to this 5-page transcript, during the phone call, President Trump urged new Ukrainian President Zelensky to open a corruption investigation into Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

According to the published content, the US leader asked President Zelensky to cooperate with his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, and expressed hope that Mr. Zelensky could consider the role of former US Vice President Biden in the dismissal of a Ukrainian prosecutor.

President Trump mentioned Mr. Biden twice during the call. Speaking on CNN on September 19, Mr. Rudy Giuliani admitted that he had asked the Ukrainian government to investigate the case of Mr. Biden's family.

According to the Democratic Party, Mr. Giuliani's suggestion to the Ukrainian government to investigate Mr. Biden could be considered a move to influence a foreign country to investigate President Trump's political opponent./.
