Vice President Mike Pence urged President Trump not to release the rough transcript of his call with the president of Ukraine, raising concerns about the precedent such a release would set, according to a report.

But the veep ultimately sided with others in the White House who agreed with the president that releasing the document was the only way for the Republicans to win the battle for public opinion, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Pence said the summary shows that the president’s threat to withhold aid to Ukraine in return for investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter “just never happened.”

“The president did nothing wrong,” Pence told Fox Business Network on Wednesday.

“He had a conversation with a world leader [and] spoke about issues that were appropriate issues related to our strong relationship with Ukraine, and it was nothing more than that,” he added.

“From the day after the election, Democrats have been trying to overturn the results” of the 2016 election. “It’s just not going to work.”

During their July 25 call, Trump reminded Zelensky about military aid before asking him to examine actions by Hunter, who served on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, according to the document.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday announced the launch of an impeachment inquiry against Trump amid Democrats’ assertions that the president used the powers of his office to get Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election.
