NBC News: “As Jon Allen points out in an analysis, Democratic staff lawyer Daniel Goldman, with calm and persistent questioning, drove a wedge between the witnesses and Trump.”
“Goldman’s questioning during the second hearing led Morrison to describe a “parallel” policy process in which Sondland spoke directly with Trump — who has said that he barely knows Sondland — and that he repeatedly checked up on Sondland’s claims that he had spoken with Trump and found those claims to be true.”
“That, along with Volker’s testimony, deeply damages the narrative put forth by some Republicans that Sondland and Giuliani were operating outside the president’s knowledge and to the case, put forth by the administration and many Republicans, that the aid was not withheld as leverage to produce a public statement regarding investigations.”
