What Went Down On Day 3 Of The Trump Impeachment Hearings
Vindman and Hill have both testified that in two separate instances on July 10, Sondland pressed the Ukrainians for investigations. Notably, Volker was present for at least one of these episodes, but his description of the meeting was very different. Goldman pointedly asked Vindman about whether Volker was there, so it seems likely that Volker will be pressed about his account of the meeting this afternoon.
we are now on the July 10 White House meeting between U.S. and Ukrainian officials, the one that prompted National Security Adviser John Bolton to say, “I am not part of whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up.”
Rep. Krishnamoorthi did an interview with ABC News Live ahead of today’s hearing. He said the “bulk” of the committee’s impeachment witnesses will testify this week, suggesting additional hearings beyond Thursday will be limited and based in part on whether new names come up in this week’s hearings.
“I didn’t know of a David Holmes until last week when Ambassador Taylor brought him up in his testimony. So to the extent that new characters emerge from this week’s testimony, I think we’ll obviously I have to question them and then go go from there,” Krishnamoorthi told me. “But we’re going to be talking to the bulk of [witnesses], you know, this week.”
