A readout of President Trump’s July 25 call to Ukraine’s president released by the White House on Wednesday offered new fuel for Democrats who had launched a formal impeachment inquiry just a day earlier.

“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,” Trump told Zelensky in the call, according to the memo.

“Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it… It sounds horrible to me,” Trump said.
