An aide to Vice President Mike Pence listened in on the phone call between Donald Trump and Ukraine's president, according to the Washington Post.
WASHINGTON – An aide to Vice President Mike Pence listened in on the phone call by the president that sparked an impeachment inquiry, the Washington Post reported in an article Wednesday that provides new details on Pence's involvement in the controversy.
Waldman said Pence's actions vindicate the administration by showing that Ukraine received military aid after Pence"directly and effectively delivered the president's anti-corruption and European burden sharing messages" to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a September meeting. Democrats also want information on Trump's decision not to send Pence to Zelensky's May inauguration and information on Pence's meeting with Zelensky during a trip to Poland in September.The document requests are part of the House's impeachment inquiry launched last week by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
