TRANSCRIPT: Pence aide Jennifer Williams said Trump's July 25 call with Zelensky was 'unusual and inappropriate'
WASHINGTON – The impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump continued Saturday as the House Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs Committees held a closed-door deposition with Mark Sandy, a career aide inside the White House budget office.
The Democratic-led inquiry is based on a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which Trump discussed military assistance for Ukraine and suggested Zelensky help with investigations into Joe Biden’s son Hunter and unsubstantiated allegations about Ukraine’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election.
In her deposition, Williams said she found the July 25 call between Trump and Zelensky to be"unusual and inappropriate." She agreed with Ambassador William Taylor's assessment that withholding military aid to Ukraine would be"folly," she said. “If Mr. Sandy is subpoenaed, he will appear for a deposition this Saturday,” Sandy’s attorney, Barbara “Biz” Van Gelder, told USA TODAY.
