Schiff and the Acting DNI testimony last week

Trump and his brain dead minions are saying that Schiff made up the entire quote about Trump leaning on the Ukranian president like a Mob Boss.

I got the impression that Schiff at least implied he was paraphrasing what Trump said, if I'm not mistaken. Is there a transcript of this "made up" conversation?

Thanks

yes, Rep. Schiff did do a good job of summarizing the facts of the transcript, but I do agree that some of his paraphrasing and over stating some of it was not the smartest thing that a Committee Chair should do.

I also agree with another poster that maybe he shouldn't have been so dramatic but it didn't seem he was wrong on any facts.

but he did indicate that he was paraphrasing, or said something like "in so many words".
