Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday that "it wouldn't be appropriate" to release a transcript of President Trump's call with his Ukrainian counterpart that is reportedly at the center of a whistleblower's complaint.
Pompeo said on ABC's "This Week" that the Trump administration publishes transcripts only in unique circumstances.
"Those are private conversations between world leaders, and it wouldnt be appropriate to do so except in the most extreme circumstances," Pompeo said.
The secretary of State deferred to the White House when asked why the administration wouldn't provide the transcript if, as the president said, there was nothing wrong about the conversation.

Appropriate?? It's the law, dude. Is there nothing that these scumbags cannot get away with?
