trump unexpectedly froze millions in ukraine aid. according to a summary of the call released yesterday by the white house, mr. p asked the president of ukraine for a favor, to look into campaign rival joe biden and biden's son hunter. the whistle-blower says white house officials were deeply disturbed and were directed by white house lawyers to remove a transcript of the call from the regular computer system, placing it instead in a separate system normally reserved for classified, sensitive information. he says aides saw this as an abuse of the system, but it was not the first time they had done this to protect the president. >> do you believe it is okay for the president of the united states to pressure a foreign country into helping him or her win an election? >> it is unwarranted. it is unwelcome. it is bad for the nation to have outside interference, any foreign power. >> thank you. and by extension, it would be equally unacceptable to extort that assistance as well? >> all i know is that i have the transcripts as you have. >> i think it's wrong. and i think we all know it. it is illegal and it is wrong.

conversation between ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky and president trump back in july that they were concerned that the white house would be released transcripts of conversations between trump and russian president vladimir putin. so certainly some concern there on the russian side as they watch this scandal and this story unfold in washington. and as well, we're starting to get the first responses on the russian side to the news of the resignation of kurt volker. that's the administrator for foreign policy. not long ago a prominent russian lawmaker on facebook commented about volcker's resignation saying he thought it would be a disservice to kiev, thought to take a swipe against the united states. washington has backed separatists in russia's east. the united states and russia have lodge been at odds over ukraine policy. so i think this sense we're getting is there's a little bit of glee if you want to put it that way about the chaos that's unfolding in washington around centers of ukraine and ukrainian policy. it's been interesting to think back on what's been a person of secrecy in the trump administration. we
