An impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump was initiated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on September 24, 2019, after a whistleblower alleged that U.S. President Donald Trump had abused the power of the presidency by pressuring the president of Ukraine, in a phone call made on July 25, to help Trump in the 2020 election by announcing investigations into his political rival Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and the Ukrainian company Burisma (for which Hunter had worked), as well as support a conspiracy theory that Ukraine, not Russia, was behind interference in the 2016 presidential election. Trump declassified a non-verbatim transcript of the call on the day the impeachment inquiry began.The whistleblower's complaint was given to Congress on September 25 and released to the public the next day. The White Housecorroborated several of the allegations, including that a record of the call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had been stored in a highly restricted system.
