Asked if he felt pressure from Trump, Zelensky says,” I think you read everything...I don’t want to be involved.” He then that the phone call was “normal” and nobody “pushed” him. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump tells Zelensky to “stop corruption in Ukraine, because that will really make you great.” — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is saying his normal things with Zelensky - Ukraine has great and talented people; he’s heard they’re making progress in relations with Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

It is possible Trump was being extremely vague about CrowdStrike to Zelensky to speak in innuendo. It's also possible he's heard extremely unbaked conspiracy theories about the company floating around Trumpworld and conveyed them extremely vaguely because they're extremely vague. — PolitiTweet.org

Who is the wealthy Ukrainian to whom Trump referred? It isn't clear, but there is an extreeemely vague conspiracy theory - like a fraction of a theory - about how a Ukrainian businessman donates to the Atlantic Council think tank at which CrowdStrike's co-founder is a fellow. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Some context for the CrowdStrike part of the Trump call: in 2017, Trump told the Associated Press that he's heard the company is based in Ukraine (though it is based in California) and that it's owned by a wealthy Ukrainian (though it isn't). "That's what I heard," he said. — PolitiTweet.org

We've updated the tally from two weeks ago from 87 false claims to 90 false claims. We belatedly saw Trump's brief interview with a local North Carolina television station, during which he made three false claims. https://t.co/zuxdiLieBB — PolitiTweet.org

You'll no longer have to wade through all the repeated claims to find the fresh fact checks in this weekly Trump dishonesty report from @tarasubramaniam and I. Thank you for doing so for three years. https://t.co/KaM0R8U0PT — PolitiTweet.org

By the way, Trump made 79 false claims last week, including a bunch of new ones -- on Biden and Ukraine, on Ilhan Omar, on San Francisco, on...mountain climbers, on...the name of the Democratic Party... List here -- with the fresh claims at the top: https://t.co/KaM0R8U0PT — PolitiTweet.org

So Trump didn't directly tie the words "I would like you to do us a favor" to the Biden part, but he'd already suggested in the same conversation that military sales were contingent upon personal investigative favors, then asked for a Biden investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

- Zelensky says he wants to buy more anti-tank missiles - Trump says "I would like you to do us a favor, though," and asks Zelensky to investigate the "server" from 2016 - Trump later says "the other thing..." and segues to the Biden-related ask — PolitiTweet.org

So...aside from the issue of appropriateness, Trump’s Biden-related request to Zelensky was also dishonest. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
We’ve seen zero evidence that Biden tried to stop the prosecution of the owner of the company on whose board his son sat. To the contrary, the US government was frustrated with the prosecutor at the time for *hindering* the investigation into that very person. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
As @rizzoTK points out, Trump made an objectively false claim to Zelensky, wrongly saying Biden bragged about having “stopped the prosecution.” Rather, Biden boasted of getting a prosecutor fired - because the prosecutor was widely seen as unwilling to prosecute corruption. https://t.co/9s8432GaAa — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
The part we didn’t know about is that Trump also asked Zelensky for a “favor” regarding Crowdstrike and “the server.” Crowdstrike is the company that the Democratic National Committee hired to investigate and respond to the Russian hack. https://t.co/0qTUF8CGdu — PolitiTweet.org

White House document says Trump said AG Barr and Giuliani would call Zelensky re Biden: “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.” https://t.co/weTEdXyxl4 — PolitiTweet.org
