- CNN reported that a transcript of the call was moved to a highly classified, codeword level computer server in the National Security Council that's typically only used to store information pertaining to US national security.
- According to a whistleblower complaint, the server also houses the transcript of a July 25 call Trump had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which he repeatedly pressured Zelensky to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter.
- There's no evidence of wrongdoing or illegal activity on the part of either Biden in Ukraine or China, despite the president's allegations.
