The call is at the heart of the impeachment inquiry
Republican Congressman Mike Conway pressed State Department official David Holmes over his recollection of the phone call between Ambassador Gordon Sondland and President Trump, accusing him of "regaling" others with the account. Holmes responded, "Sir, I think it was Gordon Sondland who showed indiscretion by having that conversation over a public line."
Several Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee chose not to ask National Security Council expert Fiona Hill any questions, instead using their time to speak at length about their view of the impeachment proceedings. "Could I actually say something?" Hill said after Rep. Brad Wenstrup finished speaking. "I think that what Dr. Wenstrup said was very powerful, about the importance of overcoming hatred and certainly partisan division," she said. "I think all of us that came here under legal obligation, also felt that we had a moral obligation to do so. We came as fact witnesses."
National Security Council expert Fiona Hill testified Thursday that Ambassador Gordon Sondland's reference to an investigation into Burisma, the gas company Hunter Biden once sat on the board of, clearly meant an investigation into the Bidens. Hill said Sondland told her there was a deal in the works for a meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky that was contingent on a Ukrainian investigation into Burisma. "I cut it off immediately there," Hill testified. "Becuase at this point, having heard Mr. Giuliani over and over again on the television, and all of the issues that he was asserting, at this point it was clear that Burisma was code for the Bidens."
The fifth day of public hearings in the House impeachment inquiry included five-minute rounds of questioning by Intelligence Committee members, which they could yield to colleagues. Watch this portion of Fiona Hill's and David Holmes' testimony.
National Security Council expert Fiona Hill explained during her testimony Thursday that she became frustrated with Ambassador Gordon Sondland because he did not communicate with her or her State Department colleagues about what he was pursuing in Ukraine. Hill said she now understands that Sondland was carrying out a "domestic political errand" at President Trump's orders. "What I was angry about was that he wasn't coordinating with us," Hill said. "Now, I've actually realized, having listened to his deposition, that... he wasn't coordinating with us because we weren't doing the same thing that he was doing."
National Security Council expert Fiona Hill testified Thursday that there was a "different channel" at work in the State Department with regard to Ukraine. Republican counsel Stephen Castor asked Hill why she did not think U.S. policy towards Ukraine was headed in the right direction when she left her post. Hill said she was concerned about former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch's removal and about what she called "a different channel in operation in relation to Ukraine. ... One that was domestic and political in nature, and that was very different from the channel, or loop... that I and my colleagues were in."
California Congressman Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, and Steve Castor, senior investigative counsel for Republicans on the panel, questioned Fiona Hill, a former senior director for Russia on the National Security Council, and David Holmes, a diplomat in the U.S. embassy in Kiev, on Thursday, the fifth day of public impeachment hearings.
National Security Council expert Fiona Hill confirmed during her testimony on Thursday that President Trump ignored his top advisers when they informed him that the conspiracy theory that Ukraine was involved in the 2016 U.S. election interference was indeed false. Asked if she believed President Trump "instead listened to Rudy Giuliani's views," she responded: "That appears to be the case, yes." State Department official David Holmes said Russia wanted to deflect responsibility for its own interference and drive a wedge between the U.S. and Ukraine.
State Department official David Holmes confirmed during his testimony Thursday that Ukraine felt pressure from the Trump administration to reopen an investigation into Hunter Biden. Holmes said he believes Ukraine still wanted to appease Trump even after frozen military aid was released. "I think that continues to this day," Holmes said. "I think they're being very careful. They still need us now, going forward."
Fiona Hill, the former top Russia expert on the National Security Council, testified Thursday: "Some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country - that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did. This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves."
