Officials' access to transcripts was reportedly limited in the case of phone calls with the Saudi crown prince and Vladimir Putin.
The White House severely limited the number of people with access to details of President Trump's phone conversations with world leaders after embarrassing leaks about some calls, US media has reported.
Access to transcripts was apparently tightly restricted in the case of conversations with dignitaries including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The White House's handling of calls with foreign heads is now at the heart of an impeachment inquiry by the Democrats., reportedly a CIA officer, claims the Republican president tried to pressure his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate Democrat political rival and 2020 election hopeful Joe Biden, days after freezing some military aid to Kiev.and put the details on a classified computer server because officials were worried about Mr Trump's request for help.
Officials who would usually get access to a rough transcript of the conversation never saw one and it was never circulated, CNN reported, adding the call did not contain any particularly sensitive information.
