Generals letter cited a phone call between President Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky as a potential violation of federal Campaign Finance law. Jeff, this was a july 25th call. It was about 30 minutes in length. What did you see in that transcript . Yeah, we didnt get a lot of time with the transcript. We werent allowed to take it out outside of doj but we took some inserts. We took notes. This was a fivepage document and, you know, as you might imagine, it starts out like any other call with a foreign leader would start. Theres a congratulations on the election victory, but President Trump did allude to europe not doing enough to help ukraine. But then he seems to veer into the dnc server. He mentions crowd strike, a company that investigated the russian hack of the dnc server. And then from there he progresses to ask the ukrainian president about joe biden. Let me put this quote up on the screen for you to see. This is what the president said, according to the transcript, which according to senior doj officials is not verbatim but this is what they have. Quote, the other thing, theres a lot of talk about bidens 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. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution. So, you can look into it, it sounds horrible to me. So, thats one excerpt of something the president said to president zelensky, the president of ukraine. Now, whether that is an example of a quid pro quo, thats obviously what democrats will be looking into. Its important to mention that doj, senior officials here say their Criminal Division took a look at this. They dont believe there were any violations of the law. What is alleged here is that there was a violation of Campaign Finance laws. But according to senior doj officials, they just dont see that in this document. But, of course, members of congress will eventually get this document and they will have to decide for themselves. Thats why this is important. Again, it was a fivepage document. We didnt have a lot of time to look at it but we did get some quotes. Let me go through another one because what we saw throughout the document is this mention of Rudy Giuliani, the president s personal attorney, as well as attorney general william barr. We knew Rudy Giuliani would be mentioned but we did not know the attorney general would be mentioned. Heres one exert. I will have mr. Giuliani give you a call and im also going to have attorney general barr call and we will get to the bottom of it. So, this is what we have gathered from this document. Were still going through it. But so far, it shows that there was this repeated mention of Rudy Giuliani and also attorney general barr. Back to you. Jeff, thank you very much. Paula reed covers the white house for us and she joins us now. Good morning. Its an extraordinary document. Were all sitting here digesting it on the fly. Exactly. Its not a perfect transcript. More like notes. We should say at the outset theres no evidence, nothing to substantiate the claims that President Trump made in that call about joe biden and joe bidens son. And theres not an explicit quid pro quo, if you do this, ill do this, exchange. Does it matter that its not that explicit . It does matter legally. We know the president is very good at this. Hes very good at putting pressure on people or getting his point across without saying something explicit that in court would be extortion or bribe. We saw this repeatedly in the russian investigation. The way he would dangle pardons without promise. We were looking at exactly how did the president pressure his ukrainian counterpart in relation to the biden investigation. What we see here is hes suggesting his personal attorney will reach out, hes suggesting the attorney general of the United States will reach out. Thats where things get a little tricky for President Trump because the question is, why would you entaj your attorney general, why would you entangle yourself having to do with a political rival . Thats significant. Again, he goes right up to the line. He doesnt make any explicit threat. We should point out here that the Justice Department says in a statement, the president has not spoken with the attorney general about having ukraine investigate anything relating to former Vice President biden or his son. Exactly. According to this statement, it appears the president never followed up on this with his attorney general. I want to draw some parallels here with what the attorney general is doing on behalf of the president. We saw with the mueller report. William barr came out, released statements before we got to see the report. He helped the president in that he hped sor put positive spreee doing that smself,rying to gehe fact out. The fact we have a statement at the same time we have a transcript, it does help the president. Its like, he said this to the ukrainian leader and then he can say, i never talked about it to the attorney general so clearly i wasnt serious. Theres not an explicit quid quid pro quo here. Is this a big bowl of nothing or how significant is this . Legally its important to note that the Justice Department has looked at what happened in this phone call. They did not clear him on all violations of law but they say we dont see a campaign violation. Going forward this will be like so many other things in the trump administration, a political fight on capitol hill. And it will be up to democrats to decide if they believe this rises to the level of conduct of articles of impeachment. Its an open conversation. Its murky. Theres no quid pro quo. Theres no explicit promise or threat. Thats great for the president s ar d attorneys to argue. A lot o of voters in the midwes will say, why have we keep talking about this. Depending on how you feel about President Trump will depend on how you feel about this. Its a rorschach test on President Trump. Exactly. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill where we first learned about this whistleblower complaint. Whats the reaction there to this transcript . I know everything is still in flux. Reporter i can tell you even before the transcript came out, democrats were very skeptical that it was going to be complete, that it would be an exhaustive readout of exactly everything that went down on this call, the exact number of times that the president asked the president of ukraine to look into the Vice President. Thats why the house intelligence chairman adam schiff told me this morning, even before the transcript was released, that he still wanted to talk on that call to make sure that the readout reflects the entire conversation that the president had with zelensky about biden. But democrats also argue remember, impeachment is a political process. Its not a legal process. Democrats argue that they already have enough evidence to establish that there was a likely quid pro quo here. Even if the president wasnt explicit about that on that phone call because if you widen out and look at the timeline here, about a week before the president had that conversation with the new president of ukraine, his first conversation ever with the new president , he suddenly, unexpectedly withheld about 400 million in military aid to ukraine. No one outside of his inner circle knew why he was doing it. Even the Senate Majority leader, republican mitch mcconnell, was kept in the dark about the reasoning. Then a week later, while that money is withheld, the president has this conversation with the president of ukraine asking him to help him in clearly political ways. So, democrats say that that shows that the leader of ukraine knew that his military aid was on the line if he didnt do what the president wanted him to do. Nancy, congress has heard from the whistleblowers attorney, but are they going to hear from the whistleblower and are they going to get a copy of this report . Reporter they are deep in negotiations over that right now, anthony. The house and Senate Intelligence committees are hoping to interview this whistleblower as soon as tomorrow and friday, before Congress Goes on a twoweek recess. But they are in negotiations with the director of national intelligence. He withheld this whistleblowers complaint because there were concerns that the whistleblower was discussing privileged information. If he was willing to withhold the complaint, why would he then allow the whistleblower himself or herself, to come to capitol hill and tell members everything . Those are the talks going on right now. Thank you you, nancy. Jonathan turley is with us from washington. Hes a constitutional law professor at George Washington university and has criticized the push towards impeachment. Jonathan, good morning. Good morning. You can argue that what the president did is inappropriate. Is it impeachable . It could be. Part of the problem with the past impeachment allegations is they are very strong allegations raised. Selfdealing is something that can constitute a form of corruption, an abuse of office. So, this is the real mccoy. You just have to prove it. The problem is with this transcript is that theres plenty here that helps the president on his defense. Not only are they a quid short of a pro quo, no express promise, but it also contains President Trumps discussion about why he wants other countries, european countries, to also put money into ukraine. Trump is insisting he withheld that 400 million to try to put pressure on the europeans to pony up. The transcript will help him there. But theres also, you know, material here that will concern congress. A legitimate subject of investigation. You know, there could be a quid pro quo. They just need someone that can connect those dots. Its not going to come from this whistleblower, i dont think. The whistleblower apparently heard this thirdhand. Im not sure how hes going to move the ball. Its more likely to come from someone in the inner circle, including someone like john bolton, who might have access to statements that would support the theory. You know attorney general barr very well. What do you make of his involvement in this . His name is mentioned in the transcript. Im not surprised at all that there was no contact with bill barr. The chances bill barr would get involved in this is roughly the same as the president winning the nobel prize. Barr apparently was never told about the call. He was informed that his name came up once the referral was made. And so this is part and parcel of what weve seen before where the president says things that, quite frankly, are reckless and disturbing. What follows is crickets. No one does anything. And that seems to be the case here, but congress has a right to find out if something more concrete was done. Thank you very much for being with us. Once again, the remarks that the president made with the president of ukraine have been released. Weve got our first read of it. Details still coming out. But there was the president did directly raise the question of investigating Vice President biden with the president of ukraine. Our coverage will continue on our 24hour streaming network cbsn.
