According to reports, Trump had intimidated Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a July 25 phone call to cooperate with his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, to investigate a Ukranian gas company that may be linked to former Vice-President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, as per the transcript of the call released by the White House.
