Trump Impeachment Inquiry

Two key impeachment witnesses said it was clear President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, was pushing political investigations of Democrats in Ukraine.

Fiona Hill, a former Russia adviser, warned Republican lawmakers to stop pushing the "fictional" narrative that Ukraine not Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

Congressional Republican support for President Donald Trump is showing no overt signs of buckling, the latest demonstration of how Democrats’ impeachment inquiry has left the two parties dwelling in different political universes.

The fifth Democratic debate is underway with 10 candidates lined up next to each other onstage in Atlanta on Wednesday, with the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump leading off the discussion. 

Cooper, the Defense Department’s deputy assistant secretary for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, and Hale, the undersecretary of state for political affairs, testified in Wednesday’s afternoon session.

President Donald Trump held an Air Force One notepad that showed large, strange talking points scrawled in black marker.

Ambassador Gordon Sondland said he kept top administration officials aware of his dealings with Ukraine on the investigations President Trump sought.

Here's the full transcript from U.S. Ambassador Gordon Sondland's testimony.

Ambassador Gordon Sondland told House impeachment investigators Wednesday that Rudy Giuliani was pushing a “quid pro quo” with Ukraine that he had to go along with it because it’s what President Donald Trump wanted.

There were attacks on the credibility of a witness in uniform, and hand-wringing by another witness on all that he knows now that he says he didn’t know then. Vice President Mike Pence was name-dropped, and lawmakers heard expressions of concern about the July phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s leader.

The House will next hear from former National Security Council aide Timothy Morrison and Kurt Volker, Trump’s former special envoy to Ukraine for peace negotiations.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, one of four witnesses who testified in the impeachment hearings Tuesday, issued a moving opening statement and mentioned how his father inspired his “sense of duty and service.”

Two top White House national security aides testified Tuesday that they were concerned by President Donald Trump’s phone call with Ukraine’s president, while Republicans questioned one witnesses’ loyalty to the country.

The impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump moves into its second week of public hearings, and the House Intelligence Committee will hear from nine more witnesses over the next three days.

Despite his denials, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was feeling pressure from the Trump Administration to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden before his July phone call with President Donald Trump that has led to impeachment hearings.

The comment was in response to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who invited Trump to appear or answer questions in writing during a television interview.

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi invited President Donald Trump to testify in front of investigators in the House impeachment inquiry ahead of a week that will see several key witnesses appear publicly.
