WASHINGTON, D.C. -- On Capitol Hill, the summary transcript of the president’s call with the president of Ukraine is sparking mixed reactions.

The White House released the memorandum Wednesday morning, one day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry into the president.

According the summary, during the call, the president asked the Ukrainian leader to investigate the Bidens, urging him to be in touch with the Attorney General and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

Several Republicans from North Carolina defended the president. They downplayed the call, saying there is no explicit “quid pro quo.”

“I see nothing that he did wrong here. I didn’t see any inappropriate requests,” said Rep. Ted Budd, R-13th District.

For Rep. GK Butterfield and other Democrats from North Carolina, the call summary raises alarms.

“The question is not whether President Trump got anything in return. The fact of the matter is his statement was reckless, it was lawless,” he said. “To ask the president of a foreign country to provide information on your political opponent and your political opponent’s family is a violation of the oath.”

What are the 2020 implications of the impeachment inquiry? Budd says he believes it could benefit Republicans in next year's election.

“Americans see this for what it is,” he said. “[Democrats] don’t like the effectiveness of the president and they’re just looking for a reason to get rid of them.”

Butterfield pushed back against that assertion, defending the inquiry.

“Our responsibility is to put all the facts on the table and let the American people decide for themselves,” he said.
