WASHINGTON ¨C President Donald Trump urged Australia¡¯s prime minister during a recent phone call to help the U.S. attorney general in an investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller¡¯s Russia probe, the New York Times reported on Monday, citing two U.S. officials with knowledge of the call.
The White House restricted access to the call¡¯s transcript to a small group of presidential aides, one of the officials said, according to the Times. It was an unusual decision that is similar to the handling of a July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that is at the heart of a House of Representatives impeachment inquiry into Trump, the paper said.
