"This is the essence of what the president communicates," California Rep. Adam Schiff said before taking artistic license in paraphrasing President Donald Trump's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"It is shocking at another level that the White House would release these notes and felt that somehow this would help the president's case or cause because what those notes reflect is a classic mafia-like shakedown of a foreign leader," said Rep. Adam Schiff.
