The White House on Wednesday apparently sent its talking points on the memo of President Donald Trump's call with the Ukrainian president by mistake to Republican and Democratic offices.
Government Communications Director Tori Symonds supposedly sent the email after the administration released a memo of Trump's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, NBC News reports — citing "multiple sources" — before she recalled the communication in a separate email shortly thereafter.
The points included, according to NBC:
- "What the president actually talked about was entirely proper."
- "The real scandal here is that leaks about a second-hand account of the president's confidential telephone call with a foreign leader triggered a media frenzy of false accusations against the president and forced the president to release the transcript."
- "Let's be clear, there was no quid pro quo for Ukraine to get U.S. aid in exchange for looking into Biden or his son."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Tuesday announced a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump's activities relating to the telephone call.
Trump defended the conversation on Wednesday.
"There was no pressure, the way you had that built up that call," the president told reporters at the United Nations. "It was going to be the call from hell.
"It turned out to be a nothing call, other than a lot of people said, 'I never knew you could be so nice.'"
