President Trump Says He 'Fully Supports Transparency' On Whistleblower

President Trump said Wednesday that the push for his impeachment is a "hoax," again denying any wrongdoing during a July call with the Ukrainian president during which he pushed for an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, a potential 2020 rival.

"No push, no pressure, no nothing — it's all a hoax, folks. It's all a big hoax," Trump said.

He also said that he has spoken with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Republicans and that he "fully supports transparency" on the whistleblower information.

Trump's remarks come after a whirlwind day in Washington, at a press conference scheduled to cap his attendance at the United Nations General Assembly. He took few questions about the Ukraine call, instead opining for about 20 minutes up front about the economy, trade, meetings with world leaders and other matters. An account of his scrutinized July call with the Ukrainian president was released Wednesday morning.
