The White House appears to have accidentally sent Democratic lawmakers and staffers an email containing GOP talking points about President Donald Trump's call with the Ukrainian president.

Several reporters tweeted screenshots of the talking points sent to them on Wednesday by sources who said the documents were emailed to them in error.

Soon after, the White House sent a follow-up message attempting to recall the email.

"The real scandal here is that leaks about a second-hand account of the President's confidential telephone call with a foreign leader triggered a media frenzy of false accusations against the President and forced the President to release the transcript," the email with the talking points said.

The White House appears to have accidentally sent House Democrats an email on Wednesday that contained Republican talking points about President Donald Trump's call with the Ukrainian president.

Several reporters tweeted screenshots of the talking points sent to them by sources. Soon after, the White House attempted to recall the email.

A summary of the July call released by the White House on Wednesday showed that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate corruption allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden that concern Ukraine.

An intelligence official filed an unusual whistleblower complaint in August concerning the president's dealings with Ukraine. But after the inspector general determined that the complaint was "credible" and "urgent," Trump's acting director of national intelligence refused to turn it over to Congress — a potentially illegal move.

In the talking points, the White House pointed fingers at the media, the whistleblower, and Democrats, accusing them of promoting "flat-out falsehoods" and triggering a "media frenzy." The document included instructions to deny allegations that Trump's conversation with Zelensky amounted to a quid pro quo.

"The real scandal here is that leaks about a second-hand account of the President's confidential telephone call with a foreign leader triggered a media frenzy of false accusations against the President and forced the President to release the transcript," the email with the talking points read.

A few Democratic lawmakers also tweeted the talking points. Rep. Bill Pascrell of New Jersey called the political spin "complete Orwellian lies and toxic trash."
