President Trump announced earlier today that he planned to release a transcript of his call with Ukraine's president tomorrow.

The release of the transcript follows days of internal debate inside the administration over whether it would be a wise move to do so.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and officials close to the White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney argued against releasing the transcript of the call, according to multiple sources, arguing primarily that it would set a bad precedent and undermine Trump's presidential powers to conduct foreign policy.

But others — including Attorney General Bill Barr — encouraged Trump to lean into the sunlight. Attorneys at the Department of Justice and in the White House Counsel's Office advocated for the release of the transcript since last Thursday, according to an official briefed on the matter.

That debate, and Trump's competing instincts on the issue, often played out in public view.

On Sunday news programs, Pompeo argued "it wouldn't be appropriate" to release calls between Trump and another foreign leader except under "the most extreme circumstances." And Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said it "would be a terrible precedent.

But hours later, Trump argued it would be "fine" to release the transcript — even as he took two more days to make up his mind.
