(CNN) - President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will publish the "unedited transcript" of his telephone call with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, a call that has been analyzed following a report of the informant's complaint indicating that Trump pressured Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden Jr., Hunter, according to a person familiar with the situation.

There is no evidence of irregularities by Joe or Hunter Biden.

“I am currently in the United Nations representing our country, but I have authorized the publication tomorrow of the complete, completely declassified and unedited transcript of my telephone conversation with President Zelensky of Ukraine,” Trump tweeted while attending the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York.

Trump's promise comes amid growing calls for political trial. The president of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, is expected to announce a formal political trial investigation later on Tuesday. She is summoning her bench in the afternoon to discuss the next steps. Pelosi is expected to make a formal statement at 5 pm ET.

Trump admitted on Tuesday that he delayed aid to Ukraine before a call to Zelensky, when he pressured the leader to investigate his possible rival Joe Biden and his son's work in Ukraine, giving the excuse that he was waiting for European nations They will contribute their fair share of help and affirm that "there was never quid pro quo."

During a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Joe Biden asked the Trump administration to "give Congress all the facts it needs," including a copy of the complaint. He said Zelensky's call was "an abuse of power."

"If the president does not comply with such requests to Congress, he continues to obstruct him and does not comply with the law, in my opinion, Donald Trump will leave Congress no choice but to initiate a political trial," Biden added.

The president is scheduled to meet with Zelensky at the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday.

Trump remained defiant on Tuesday, saying he has done nothing wrong and that he does not regret his behavior when it comes to Ukraine and that he is looking for an investigation into the business of Biden's son.

Trump has previously described the criticism of the so-called "Witch Hunt of Ukraine" and described the informant as "partisan."

On Monday, The Washington Post reported for the first time that the president had ordered his interim chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, to freeze nearly $ 400 million of US military and security aid to Ukraine in the days before he spoke with Zelensky .

When a deadline for disclosing the complainant's complaint to Congress was approved and the acting director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire, did not send the report, the inspector general of the intelligence community, Michael Atkinson, notified the president of the Chamber's Intelligence of Representatives, Adam Schiff, on an “urgent concern” that the director of National Intelligence has annulled.

Three commissions of the Chamber initiated further investigations on the subject.
