Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is finally having his say in this whole uproar.
On Wednesday morning, the White House released a memorandum from a call between President Trump and Zelensky, which shows Trump pushed Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and the 2016 DNC email hack. So when Trump and Zelensky met publicly that afternoon, Zelensky was obviously questioned on whether he "felt any pressure by President Trump to investigate Joe Biden." Zelensky preferred to leave it at what was released, saying "I think you read everything" and "I don't want to be involved" in America's elections.
