Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., blasted President Donald Trump on Friday and accused him of trying to cover up the transcript of his phone call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Her comments came in a tweet.
She wrote: “Trump & his sycophants tried to cover up the transcripts re: his phone call to Ukraine's president by hiding the info on a server reserved for highly classified info. It didn't work. They've been caught red handed. Not just thinking about impeachment, impeachment is on the way.”
The White House acknowledged on Friday that National Security Council lawyers had directed the transcript to be filed on a highly classified computer system.
A whistleblower’s complaint claimed the White House tried to "lock down' the information to cover it up, in part by moving it to a different computer system.
The call between the two leaders has sparked an impeachment inquiry. During Trump's conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart, he suggested Ukraine investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.
