What Went Down On Day 3 Of The Trump Impeachment Hearings

You can see Vindman’s hands shaking as he reads from his prepared remarks. His blunt words and halting style of speech are powerful.

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.
