Trump says he's open to releasing memo of another Ukraine call

President Trump on Friday said he's considering releasing a rough transcript of another phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as he faces mounting scrutiny over his push to get Ukraine to launch politically charged investigations.
In his remarks to reporters outside the White House, Trump appeared to be referring to an April call shortly after Zelensky won election.
Trump said he would release a readout of the call if Democrats demand it as part of their ongoing impeachment inquiry, which has examined Trump's July 25 call with Zelensky in which he urged the foreign leader to launch an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden.
"Now they want the first call with the president of Ukraine," Trump told reporters. "If they want it I will probably give it to them, but they really want it badly. If they want it I will probably give it to them."
