Washington (CNN) Hillary Clinton on Wednesday said President Donald Trump "betrayed" the United States, calling him a "danger" following the release of a transcript of his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"The president of the United States has betrayed our country. That's not a political statement—it's a harsh reality, and we must act," the former secretary of state wrote on Twitter. "He is a clear and present danger to the things that keep us strong and free. I support impeachment."
