The White House Forged The Ukraine Call Transcript To Cover Up Trump’s Crimes


According to Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, “[T]he White House transcript of a July call between President Trump and Ukraine’s president omitted crucial words and phrases.”

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Vindman told impeachment investigators in his 10-hour testimony that he sought to restore the White House changes, but he failed.

More from the explosive piece of reporting from The New York Times:

The omissions, Colonel Vindman said, included Mr. Trump’s assertion that there were recordings of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. discussing Ukraine corruption, and an explicit mention by Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, of Burisma Holdings, the energy company whose board employed Mr. Biden’s son Hunter.

Colonel Vindman, who appeared on Capitol Hill wearing his dark blue Army dress uniform and military medals, told House impeachment investigators that he tried to change the reconstructed transcript made by the White House staff to reflect the omissions. But while some of his edits appeared to have been successful, he said, those two corrections were not made.

Colonel Vindman did not testify to a motive behind the editing process. But his testimony is likely to drive investigators to ask further questions about how officials handled the call, including changes to the transcript and the decision to put it into the White House’s most classified computer system — and whether those moves were meant to conceal the call’s most controversial aspects. <snip>
Vindman’s testimony also confirms that the White House did, indeed, try to cover up the contents of the call – not only by putting it in a top-secret server but by essentially scrubbing the transcript of the most damning words and phrases. - PoliticusUSA
