The House Intelligence Committee on Thursday released the whistleblower complaint at the heart of a controversy over President Trump's efforts to have the government of Ukraine investigate Joe Biden and his son.

Why it matters: The Trump administration's initial refusal to turn over the complaint is what led to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's watershed decision on Tuesday to finally support a formal impeachment inquiry. Likely as a result of pressure from that announcement, the administration released both the complaint and, earlier in the day, a summary of Trump's July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
