The report claims President Trump pressured the Ukrainian president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.
President Trump called it a "witch hunt."

Attorneys for the whistle-blower are now trying to strike a deal for their client to testify in private before the Congressional Intelligence Committee, which could happen as soon as this week.
