Australian opposition call for release of Trump transcript

[RandySF]

Australia's opposition demanded the transcript of a call between Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Donald Trump be released Wednesday, as controversy mounted over a politically fraught offer to help the US president.

Amid concern that Australia may be co-opted into helping Trump tarnish his domestic political rivals, opposition leader Anthony Albanese demanded to know what information Canberra had turned over to Washington.

Morrison's office admitted Tuesday that the prime minister personally offered to "assist and cooperate" with an investigation that the US president hopes will discredit findings that Russia helped his 2016 election campaign.

Australia is a long-standing security ally of the United States and close relations usually enjoy strong bipartisan support Down Under. But that consensus has been tested since Trump took office.
