Warren calls for transcript of Trump's call with Chinese leader to be released
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/464324-warren-calls-for-transcript-of-trumps-call-with-chinese-leader-to-beSen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is calling for the White House to release a transcript of President Trump's call with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping from June after a report that Trump mentioned her and fellow Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on the call.
"Trump can say what he wants about me, but it's outrageous that any president would sell out the people of Hong Kong behind closed doors," Warren tweeted.

Warren weighed in after CNN reported Thursday that Trump mentioned Biden and Warren's "political prospects" during a June 18 call with Xi.
During the call, Trump also reportedly told the foreign leader that he would stay quiet about protests in Hong Kong while the U.S. and China pursued trade talks.
The record of the call was stored in a secure electronic system where Trump's July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was also kept, CNN reported.
