"Fact Check: Trump Falsely Claims Release of 'the Tape' of Zelensky Call"

Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed at a rally in Ohio that he had released a tape of his 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, suggesting that it contradicted Democrats' descriptions of the call. However, no such tape exists, and Pelosi has never heard a tape of the call. Trump's story is a complete fabrication, and his previous claims about releasing the rough transcript before Democrats' comments are also false. Retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman confirmed that there is no recording of the call, and Pelosi's spokesperson called Trump's account "fact-free nonsense."
