WASHINGTON — Memo to the White House: If you’re going to distribute talking points to refute allegations that President Donald Trump withheld aid for Ukraine while trying to get the country to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, don’t send it to one of the Democrats who wants to look at impeaching the president.

A two-page report accidentally sent to Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., D-9th Dist. contended that what Trump did was “entirely proper” and the whole controversy was another example of opponents “leaking confidential information in an attempt to seek political gain.”

Pascrell figured he’d share it with the world.

He posted the memo on Twitter, calling it “Orwellian lies and toxic trash" and warning: “Hazmat suit possibly required.”

“I’m a communicator, particularly of information on the other side,” Pascrell told NJ Advance Media.

The trump White House just accidentally sent our office their talking points for deflecting trump’s treachery. They’re complete Orwellian lies and toxic trash, but maybe you’d like to read them to appreciate their corruption!

The Ukraine revelations led to a surge in support among Democrats for beginning impeachment proceedings against Trump, including among previous holdouts in New Jersey.

Pascrell wasn’t the only Democrat who got the memo. It also went to Senate communications directors for senators of both parties.
