Impeachment proceedings against President Trump entered a public phase Wednesday morning, giving the nation its first look at the previously unknown men and women who will testify that the president abused his office.
The first two witnesses, a pair of veteran diplomats, gave riveting testimony about their experience of watching the Trump administration withhold vital security assistance to Ukraine this past summer, at a time when the country was under attack from Russia.
Taylor described attempts by Sondland to justify Trump’s behavior by saying that the president “is a businessman” and that “when a businessman is about to sign a check to someone who owes him something … the businessman asks that person to pay up before signing the check.” Story continuesTaylor said his staffer could hear Trump talking loudly enough to understand him and heard the president ask Sondland “about the investigations.”“Sondland responded that President Trump cares more about the investigations of Biden,” Taylor said.
Trump, Schiff said, pressured Ukraine to take actions that were not in the U.S. national interest but were “in Donald Trump’s personal interest and in the interest of his 2020 reelection campaign.”
