Ukraine Phone Call — Whistleblower Complaint Filed

| Trump 45 & 47

Trump calls Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and, according to the call summary, asks him to investigate Biden family dealings with Ukraine and the 2016 election — implying US military aid may be conditioned on cooperation. A CIA officer files a whistleblower complaint, calling it 'deeply disturbing.' The call summary is released September 25, 2019. The incident triggers the first impeachment.
