According to his notes, Colonel Vindman said, the ellipses took the place of Mr. Trump saying “there are recordings.”

On that same page, the transcript recorded Mr. Zelensky promising that Ukraine’s next prosecutor general would “look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue.”

But Mr. Zelensky explicitly said Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company where Mr. Biden’s son worked, and not “the company,” according to Colonel Vindman.

What Mr. Trump Said

“I think that’s when Comey announced he was leaking, lying and everything else, right?”

False. As Mr. Trump praised Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa, he claimed that Mr. Grassley’s questioning of James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, in May 2017 resulted in Mr. Comey confessing to the misdeeds Mr. Trump has long accused him of. But Mr. Comey had said the exact opposite, denying that he had leaked classified information:

Mr. Grassley: “Director Comey, have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?”



Mr. Comey: “Never.”



Mr. Grassley: “Question two, relatively related, have you ever authorized someone else at the F.B.I. to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?”



Mr. Comey “No.”



Mr. Grassley: “Has any classified information relating to President Trump or his association — associates been declassified and shared with the media?”



Mr. Comey: “Not to my knowledge.”

What Mr. Trump Said

“Tell me, why isn’t Germany paying money? Why isn’t France? Why isn’t United Kingdom paying money? Why aren’t they paying money? Why are we paying the money?”

This is misleading. Mr. Trump was talking about international aid to Ukraine. Those European countries are, in fact, contributing to Ukraine’s efforts to counteract Russian aggression. They provide more development and humanitarian aid to Ukraine than the United States does, though the United States is the largest provider of military assistance.

European countries have contributed $1.6 billion in development assistance from 2014 to 2017, compared with $807 million from the United States, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

What Mr. Trump Said

“We just won two seats in North Carolina, two wonderful seats in North Carolina that were not supposed to be won.”
