The White House on Friday released a rough transcript of President Donald Trump's first phone call with then-Ukrainian President-elect Volodymyr Zelenskiy, but the text does not confirm the Trump administration's previous summary about the conversation.

The call was made on April 21, three months before their July 25 conversation, which sparked the House impeachment inquiry.

In a previous readout of the call, the White House claimed that Trump had expressed a commitment to work with Ukraine to "implement reforms that strengthen democracy, increase prosperity, and root out corruption." But the description at the time from the White House is not matched by memorandum. Trump also did not underscore the "unwavering support of the United States for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity — within its internationally recognized borders," as the White House had claimed.

In the April call, Trump invited Zelenskiy to the White House, according to the four-page memo, which says in a footnote that it is "not a verbatim transcript of a discussion." Zelenskiy had just won the election that day, defeating incumbent Petro Poroshenko by about 75% to 25%.

"I'd like to invite you to the White House. We'll have a lot of things to talk about, but we're with you all the way," Trump said.

Trump also told Zelenskiy, "When I owned Miss Universe, they always had great people. Ukraine was always very well represented." Trump owned the beauty pageant from 1996 to 2015.

The conversation lasted 16 minutes, according to the memo.

The memo about the call was released minutes before the start of Day 2 of the House Intelligence Committee's public hearings into impeachment began. Friday's sole scheduled witness was Marie Yovanovitch, who was appointed by President Barack Obama as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and was recalled by Trump in May.

Trump lashed out at her on Twitter on Friday as she testified that his words about her in the July 25 phone call with the Ukraine president "sounded like a threat."

Trump himself opted to release the memo about the April call, describing it as "more important" than their second conversation three months later, in which Trump asked Zelenskiy to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, as well as a conspiracy theory about Ukrainian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

That July 25 call, which was flagged in a whistleblower complaint, spurred the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry into Trump.
