On September 22, 2019, shortly after the whistleblower's allegations became public, Trump acknowledged that he had discussed Joe Biden during a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on July 25. Trump stated that "The conversation I had was largely congratulatory, was largely corruption, all of the corruption taking place, was largely the fact that we don't want our people like Vice President Biden and his son creating [sic] to the corruption already in Ukraine".[51] On September 25, the White House released part of a transcript of Trump's conversation with Zelensky following a promise to do so the previous day;[52][53] on the same day, the whistleblower complaint was released to Congress.[54]
