During the phone call, Trump asked Ukraine's leader to "do us a favor" and work with Attorney General William Barr and Trump's personal attorney, Rudolph Giuliani, to "look into" former Vice President Joe Biden and his family.

Pelosi's 'fact sheet' on Trump impeachment

• House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has released a “fact sheet” detailing allegations about President Trump’s “shakedown” of his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky which led to House Democrats’ ongoing impeachment probe.

“President Trump has betrayed his oath of office, betrayed our national security and betrayed the integrity of our elections for his own personal political gain,” Pelosi’s document states.

• The document, titled “Truth Exposed,” includes what Pelosi’s office calls proof of a “pressure campaign” and “cover up” by the president regarding Ukraine. It also includes text messages from Ambassadors Gordon Sondland, Kurt Volker, and Bill Taylor, quotes by the president, and material from the anonymous whistleblower who filed a complaint about a July 25 call between Trump and Zelensky.
