Trump’s claim was peculiar not because it is false—that’s typical enough—but because one need only look at the transcript itself to know that it’s false. The document notes:
CAUTION: A Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation (TELCON) is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion. The text in this document records the notes and recollections of Situation Room Duty officers and NSC policy staff assigned to listen and memorialize the conversation in written form as the conversation takes place.
This is not the first me-or-your-lying eyes moment to emerge from the transcript. Trump insists that he never pressured President Volodymyr Zelensky and that there was no suggestion of a quid pro quo on the call, even as the transcript clearly shows both.
