Russian President Vladimir Putin weighed in on the House Democrats’ efforts to inquire about impeaching President Donald Trump, saying “we don’t mind” if phone calls between the two leaders are published.

Putin said that he wouldn’t mind if transcripts of phone calls between him and Trump were released after the White House released transcripts of a call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Democrats have seized on the phone call, alleging that Trump used his office to pressure his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
