In a document revealed on Thursday, September 26, a whistleblower accuses the White House of wanting to keep secret the phone call between Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

The document released Thursday by the US Congress is explosive. In this nine-page report to the House of Representatives dated August 12, 2019, a whistleblower said he was " informed by several US government officials that the President of the United States was using the capabilities of his office to solicit the interference of a foreign country in the US 2020 election ".

" In the days following the call, I learned from several US officials that senior White House officials had intervened to" lock "all records related to the phone call ," he said. Order was even given to erase computers to keep only a classified version. For this launcher, this is a sign that the White House immediately understood the gravity of this call .

This report concerns the call made between Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy on July 25th. During the exchange, the US president asked his interlocutor to investigate his Democratic rival Joe Biden, candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidential election of 2020, and his son Hunter, who worked from 2014 within of a Ukrainian gas group.

The Director of Grill Information

The author of this report, considered " credible " by the Inspector General of Intelligence, said he was not a direct witness to these acts but he found them " credible " because " in almost all the cases, several officials have evoked facts that were consistent between them . According to him, a dozen officials from the White House listened to the conversation between the two presidents.

This Thursday in Washington, the Acting Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire, passed on the grill of the House of Representatives. The elected Democrats of the Intelligence Committee insistently ask him why he tried to block this mail. Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the Democrats who launched Tuesday the impeachment procedure against Trump, denounces his side an attempt to choke the White House of this vast scandal.

The publication of this document increases the pressure on the American president, against whom the Democrats opened Tuesday a dismissal procedure . In a capital letter tweet - which he then erased - the man called on the Republicans to " fight ". " The future of the country is at stake, " says the tenant of the White House who denounces for two days " the largest witch hunt in the history of the United States ."
