A Democratic congressman said the behind-closed-doors testimony by the Trump administration's most senior Ukraine envoy Bill Taylor left"jaws dropped."
House Democrats have opened an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, accusing him of seeking Ukraine's interference in the 2020 election for his own political benefit.to open investigations that would potentially damage the Democratic Party at the next election. He also said Sondland attempted to explain Trump's thinking as a businessman and that before signing a check to someone who owes him something, they are asked to pay up first.
