US lawmakers were the first to report accusations against Donald Trump and demanded impeachment.

One Democratic Party described the Communist Party as "pain," while describing it as "interference."

The American media complained about the controversial call between Trump and the Ukrainian president.

The latest information will be testified by the US Information Governor on this matter.

An explanation of Joseph McGuire's complaint by an unnamed intelligence officer will be scrutinized when he appears in front of members of the House of Commons Intelligence Committee on Thursday.

The content of the complaint is still classified, but the chief Democrat of the US Senate, Chuck Schumer, demanded the release immediately.

At a press conference Wednesday evening, President Trump dismissed the impeachment again as "fake" and "witch witch."

"What this courageous individual did seems to be a serious mistake," he cited the whistleblower. "We will do everything possible to protect you."

Lawmakers said they wanted to hear from the whistleblower at some point, but the meeting was not scheduled.

Democrat Mike Quigley said the Republican Senator Ben Sasse, of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said there was a "real problem."

"Republicans don't turn wagons [to protect Mr Trump]"He said.

But Congressman Mike Conaway of the House Intelligence Committee added that he did not think the complaint would compromise Trump. "I have never seen bothering me"

Schumer, who called for the disclosure of the complaint, said: "The public has the right to read the complaint of the whistleblower by themselves."

How about impeachment investigation?

Democrats accuse President Trump of seeking foreign help to use Joe Viden as a tool to smear and negotiate hope.

Under the US Constitution, the president can be impeached for "history, bribery or other high crimes and negligence." This can be dismissed from the procedure.

In July, Trump freezes military aid to Ukraine, but claimed that it was not used to pressure Kiev's new government.

A congressional vote to impeach the president may spark a trial on whether to remove President Trump from the office in the Senate.

Congressional investigations have focused in part on whether Trump has abused presidential power and tried to help his reelection by undermining President Biden with the help of foreign governments.

Democratic Congressman spokesman Nancy Pelosi declared that the action marked "betrayal of his oath" and "nobody is under law."

But Wednesday, Trump denied that he put pressure on President Zelensky.

"I didn't do it. I didn't threaten anyone," he said. "No pressure, no pressure, nothing. It's all scams, people, all big scams."

What did Trump say about Biden on the phone?

Trump discussed the removal of the newly elected Zelensky and prosecutor Viktor Shokin in 2016, according to a telephone conversation announced by the White House.

The President of the United States quoted in a 30-minute call: "I was told that I had a very good test. He was closed and really unfair.

"Many people are talking about it. How they closed your very good prosecution and you were involved with very bad people."

Joe Biden hopes to be a Democratic presidential candidate in next year's election.

He continues. "Another thing is that there are many stories about Biden's suspension of prosecution against Biden's son. [of Mr Biden’s son] Many people want to know about everything you can do. [US] The Attorney General will be great.

According to ABC News, Governor Zelenski argued that discussing the Widen case was a precondition for all calls between the two leaders.

The president also asked Zelensky to investigate the matter with US Attorney General William Barr and Trump's private lawyer Rudolph Giuliani.

The Justice Department said on Wednesday that President Trump did not talk with the Attorney General about causing Ukraine to investigate Biden, and Bar did not communicate with Ukraine.

What is the charge for Joe Biden?

President Trump and his conservative allies focused on how US Vice President Viden, 2016, lobbied to dismiss Ukraine from President Shokin.

Shokin's office began an investigation into Burisma, a natural gas company whose Biden son Hunter Biden is a member of the board of directors.

Other Western officials demanded dismissal because of the perception that President Shokin was weak about corruption.

Last year Biden threatened to withhold US $ 1 billion in aid to Ukraine unless Mr. Shokin was eliminated at a foreign policy event.
