What Went Down On Day 3 Of The Trump Impeachment Hearings

Vindman is not holding back. He has emphasized that the July 25 call was “inappropriate.” He is strongly defending the State Department officials who testified last week.

In Williams’s closed-door testimony, she talked about how Trump told Pence not to attend Zelensky’s inauguration, after having told him to go only a month before. Williams said she never learned more about the reversal, but Pence’s attendance at the inauguration would have been a big deal for Zelensky. So it’s worth watching whether and how Democrats press her on this.

“I was concerned by the call. What I heard was inappropriate,” says Vindman in his opening statement. Adding that he worried that bipartisan support for Ukraine was jeopardized by the call.
