White House talking points on Trump's Ukraine call about Biden accidentally emailed to Democrats
with Ukraine's president was accidentally emailed to offices of Democratic members of Congress on Wednesday, according to NBC News.
Afterward, Democratic offices that had received the list of talking points from the Director of Government Communications received an email announcing a "RECALL" of the original email containing the messaging about the call. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Florida, said on MSNBC that he and other members of Congress were invited to the White House on Wednesday morning to talk with Trump about about the notes on the call before they were released.
The President did not mention Rudy Giuliani or Vice President Biden until after President Zelenskyy had raised Giuliani first. The real scandal here is that leaks about a second-hand account of the President's confidential telephone call with a foreign leader triggered a media frenzy of false accusations against the President and forced the President to release the transcript.
Assistance to Ukraine was mentioned by President Trump only to stress how much the United States is doing and how other countries, like Germany, need to do their fair share. The President believes his private conversations with world leaders should be kept confidential and made this exception in the interests of transparency because of the amount of misinformation being spread in the press.
