White House Aide: Cameras Should Have Been Off for Tense Trump-Zelensky Call

A senior White House official now says cameras should not have been allowed in the room for a contentious 2019 meeting between then-President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This regret is reported in a new article. It focuses on internal disagreements within Trump's team about Russia and Ukraine. The meeting happened when President Trump was pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rival, Joe Biden. This pressure led to Trump's first impeachment. Susie Wiles, a top advisor to Trump, has criticized the report. She calls it a "hit piece." Wiles is a key link between Trump's campaign and his potential new administration. The reported regret over the cameras suggests the filmed meeting caused lasting political damage. The footage provided a public record of the event at the heart of the impeachment.
