The White House on Friday confirmed that administration lawyers ordered that the transcript of President Trump’s call to his Ukrainian counterpart be kept in a more secure and classified computer system.

A senior White House official told CNN that National Security Council lawyers directed the move, which restricted the number of people who could have access to it.

“NSC lawyers directed that the classified document be handled appropriately,” the official said.

The admission bolsters a whistleblower’s complaint about Trump’s call with President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which the commander-in-chief asked the Ukrainian leader to reopen an investigation into Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

Democrats called the decision to limit access to the transcript — which the White House eventually released over Vice President Mike Pence’s objections — part of a cover-up.

The whistleblower’s revelations prompted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to launch impeachment proceedings against the president for asking a foreign leader for compromising information on a political rival.

The whistleblower described how the transcript with the Ukrainian president — and others — were kept under wraps by using a system for highly sensitive documents rather than the computer system where such documents are usually stored.

The president has ripped the complaint as a “hoax” and “witch hunt,” termed the call “perfect” and accused Democrats of trying to impeach him because they can’t win at the ballot box.
