BREAKING: A top national security aide to Vice President Pence told impeachment investigators that President Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political opponents were “unusual and inappropriate”
A top national security aide to Vice President Mike Pence told House impeachment investigators that President Donald Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political opponents were “unusual and inappropriate,” and “shed some light on possible other motivations” for the president’s order to freeze military aid to the U.S. ally.
The impeachment inquiry also focuses on whether Trump sought to use a White House meeting with Zelensky and other events as leverage to pressure the Ukrainian president to publicly commit to Trump’s desired investigations. Williams first-hand account details a White House and a U.S. national security apparatus deeply troubled about what appeared to be an inexplicable reversal of the Trump administration’s posture toward Ukraine, a U.S. strategic ally subject to Moscow’s malign influence in the region.
