The Trump administration has released the transcript of a phone call which reveals the US President asked the Ukrainian President to investigate former vice-president Joe Biden.
The release of the transcript follows House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement that the Democrats would proceed with an official impeachment inquiry.
Many Democrats have accused Mr Trump of soliciting Ukraine’s help to smear Mr Biden before the 2020 election, which they believe is an impeachable offence.
Mr Trump says the inquiry would be a ‘favour’.
