WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump asked a top American diplomat whether President Volodymyr Zelensky would investigate Joe Biden, Trump’s political rival, according to the Nov. 15 testimony of David Holmes, a political counselor with the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv.
In his prepared statement during a closed-door hearing in the Trump impeachment inquiry, Holmes said he overheard a July 26 phone conversation between Trump and Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union. The call came after the diplomat’s meeting with Zelensky. Sondland had called Trump to brief him about the meeting and Holmes testified that he could clearly hear Trump’s voice through the phone’s speaker.

Does anyone really think Adam Schiff isn't censoring what is released?
For starters:

I wonder who is more corrupt? Ukraine or the USA? hard to say at the moment. seeing how Republicans support any criminal activity of the President, I see the US as no better than Ukraine.
True! So the tide at the Kyiv Post is turning, they actually allowed you to post something controversial. Whenever Trump is mentioned in a negative way, they censor the comment - perhaps there has been a change of heart.
I hope you aren't serious. I have been censored and moderated for pointing out the other side / rest of the story. Everything thus far has been one sided due to Adam Schiff editing transcripts before they are released and yes your vaunted newspaper. See my other post in this chain

Analysis / Bias
Reporters Without Borders ranks the Ukraine 101 out of 180 countries in the 2018 World Press Freedom Index. According to a Columbia Journalism Review article dated 2014 and titled “Kyiv Post’s unlikely success”, they describe how an editor from Minnesota and a Pakistani billionaire are riding the story of their lives as Ukraine unravels.” The Kyiv Post’s main focus is on stories about corruption and war.
In review, the Kyiv Post utilizes emotionally loaded language in their headlines such as “Ukraine continues to build case against Russia in International Court of Justice in The Hague.” Sourcing is typically through large blocks of quotes via interviews or utilizing local sources which we have not verified at this time, such as Ukrayinska Pravda, Ukrainian News Agency, The UNIAN, (The Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group (KhPG), and . In this article there is a good example of word choices/opinion that favor the left: “It is likely that the 30 young masked thugs who burned down a permanent Roma settlement in Rudne, near Lviv on 9 May were also from far-right groups.” The Kyiv Post also republishes articles from a variety of left leaning sources such as the Washington Post, New York Times, Buzzfeed and CNN. A factual search reveals that the Kyiv Post has published misleading or false information in the past.
Overall, we rate Kyiv Post Left-Center Biased due to word choices and story selection that favor the left and Mixed for factual reporting due to some misleading claims as confirmed by fact checkers. (M. Huitsing 6/14/2018)
well sir pay attention to the public statements of those who know first hand what it is like under the trump thumb of corruption.
trump is working hard to make the USA like Russia, his hero Putin has so much power and Trump is jealous.
Let's face it, Steve, when Schiff provides a transcript, it is believable and far more accurate than the transcripts we get from the White House or from Billy Barr.
