Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, said the transcript of a phone call between President Trump and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky was “even worse” than the allegations from the Mueller report.
"The President is directly involved here. It’s pretty clear what has happened as bad as the other stuff was this was even worse," he said.
Asked what the Senate’s role will be in the next few months, Schumer said the Senate intel committee should pursue the facts.
Schumer also said that the transcript “validates the wisdom” of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to announce an official impeachment inquiry yesterday.
