President Donald Trump said "there was no pressure whatsoever" when he spoke with Ukraine's leader about working with Rudy Giuliani and the U.S. attorney general to investigate Democratic political rival Joe Biden.
The conversation between Trump and Ukraine's president is just one piece of a whistleblower's complaint made in mid-August. The White House released the declassified memo of the call Wednesday.
The complaint is central to the impeachment inquiry announced Tuesday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Trump said the impeachment inquiry is the "single greatest witch hunt in American history." He also said it turned out to be "a nothing call."
Trump's comments Wednesday came as he met with world leaders in New York after addressing the U.N. General Assembly the day before.
Trump emphasized how well the economy is doing.
