What Went Down On Day 3 Of The Trump Impeachment Hearings

Vindman reported his concerns about the request for investigations to the NSC’s legal counsel twice — first after the July 10 meeting where he and other witnesses say Sondland tied a White House meeting to investigations, and again after the July 25 call.

Worth mentioning that the White House has tried to blame Vindman for the discrepancy between the readout of the April 21 call that was released earlier this year (which mentioned corruption) and the more detailed call summary that was made publicly available last week (where corruption wasn’t discussed). It will be interesting to see if that comes up during Republicans’ questioning.

Vindman testifies that he told Zelensky to “stay out of U.S. domestic politics,” stating that he was following protocol. He would “advise any country in my portfolio to not participate in U.S. domestic politics.”
