The hosts of Fox &
Friends agree with former Vice President
Joe Biden on one thing:
President Trump should release the transcript of his
Ukraine call.Ainsley Earhardt, Brian Kilmeade, and Steve Doocy have been coming to Trump's defense amid allegations he pushed for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Biden's son and ordered a hold on military aid to Ukraine a week before their call, on Tuesday's show mocking the "'impeachment hysteria" from Democrats, who Earhardt said "don't even know what the conversation was."But Earhardt also argued in favor of Trump releasing the transcript of his call, as Biden and other
Democrats have urged him to do."I think the president should do his talk today at the U.N. and then tomorrow or later in the week should release this transcript," Earhardt said, later adding that this is assuming the call was "innocent" and he has "nothing to hide." Trump has said he brought up Biden's son on the call as part of a conversation about "all of the corruption taking place" in Ukraine.Kilmeade was a little more cautious, saying he's fearful about the "precedent" this would set. At the same time, he concluded that "if the president doesn't have anything to worry about, he should" release the transcript.ABC News reports the
White House is considering doing just that, but Trump has already flip-flopped on whether he wants the transcript made public, first telling reporters "I hope you see" it and then minutes later objecting to the idea that he wants it to be released, saying, "I didn't say that at all."
