“President Trump’s former Russia adviser testified under subpoena for roughly 10 hours on Monday as Democrats try to dig into how allies of the president tried to circumvent official policy on Ukraine as part of the impeachment inquiry,” The Hill reports.
“While lawmakers largely declined to comment on the specifics of Hill’s testimony, Democrats asserted that Hill corroborated what they described as a concerted effort by Trump allies who were pushing for the Ukraininan government to investigate the Bidens to remove Yovanovitch from her post in May.”
Wall Street Journal: “Hill and other White House officials grew so alarmed about the administration’s efforts to push Ukraine to open certain investigations that they raised their concerns with a White House lawyer.”
Attorneys for Hill argued in a letter sent on Sunday that no executive privilege issues were in play for her testimony, citing potential “government misconduct” as one reason for their decision.
