White House

• A White House official who heard President Donald Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told a whistleblower they found it "crazy" and "frightening," ABC News reported.
• The official was also "visibly shaken" by the conversation, the report said, citing notes taken by the whistleblower.
• The whistleblower went on to file an official complaint against Trump accusing him of abusing his power for personal gain.
• During his call with Zelensky, Trump repeatedly pressured his Ukrainian counterpart to launch an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son for corruption.
• The complaint is at the center of a looming congressional impeachment inquiry examining whether Trump urged a foreign country to intervene in the 2020 race for his own political benefit, and potentially dangled military aid as an incentive to Ukraine.
