What Went Down On Day 3 Of The Trump Impeachment Hearings

Vindman says that the word “Burisma” being left out of the transcript “was not a significant omission” — the people putting together the transcript might have just missed the word. The issue, though, is that it was his job to fix the transcript and catch omissions, and after he flagged the omission, the correction still wasn’t made.

Goldman, Democrats’ attorney, is establishing that the part of the call where Trump asks about “doing us a favor” was not part of the official talking points that Trump was given to guide the call.

Vindman implied that Zelensky brought up the word “Burisma” as if he was prepped by his staff to do so. Which supports the idea that Zelensky understood that Trump was ordering him to investigate Burisma and wanted to make sure that was clear.
