According to Ambassador Bill Taylor's Congressional testimony today, Trump's henchmen wanted Zelensky to make a made-up statement, and do so in public, about the Bidens on CNN, but not on Fox News, to "publicly box-in" the newly elected Ukrainian President. Remember, Shepard Smith who has been anti-Trump was still at Fox News and Trump didn't want Shepard Smith ruining his plan for Zelensky with his base.

What other Republican Administration wanted false statements made publicly? Does Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby fixing the Iraq intel and giving it to Colin Powell to read at the UN ring a bell?
