Sealing of Ukraine transcript done on White House lawyers’ directive
A senior administration official acknowledged that the rough transcript of Trump’s July 25 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was moved to a highly classified system maintained by the National Security Council at the direction of attorneys. The motivation and timing of the move remained unclear.
The whistleblower complaint said the move to “lock down” details of the call suggested “White House officials understood the gravity of what had transpired in the call”.
White House attorneys were made aware of concerns about Trump’s comments on the call before the whistleblower sent filed his complaint. Confirmation of the detail came as Trump stepped up his campaign against the anonymous whistleblower, drawing a warning from Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
