Nearly three weeks after VP Pence said he had 'no objection' to releasing a transcript, administration is divided on whether it could help or hurt President Trump's cause.
Releasing additional conversations during the course of the impeachment inquiry also could give leverage to any effort by Democrats to pursue other transcripts of other relevant calls or meetings.
Some people close to the vice president are arguing for the release of anything that would help “clear Pence’s name,” one person familiar with the debate said, adding that a reconstructed transcript of his Zelenskiy call could achieve that.
The conversation took place less than a week after nearly $400 million in security aid was eventually released. “They don’t have a lot of bullets in the chamber to fire back with and this is one,” a former White House official said.
