Key impeachment witnesses say it was clear that President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani was pursuing political investigations of Democrats in Ukraine
Key impeachment witnesses say it was clear that President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani was pursuing political investigations of Democrats in Ukraine, and call Ukraine election interference theory"fictional narrative."
"He was clearly pushing forward issues and ideas that would, you know, probably come back to haunt us and in fact," Hill testified. "I think that's where we are today."Hill also urged lawmakers in the House of Representatives' impeachment inquiry on Thursday to quit pushing a "fictional" narrative that Ukraine, not Russia interfered in the 2016 election as they defend Trump in the impeachment inquiry.
"In the course of this investigation, I would ask that you please not promote politically driven falsehoods that so clearly advance Russian interests," she said. The inquiry is also examining whether Trump's withholding of $391 million in security aid to Ukraine, approved by Congress to fight Russia-backed separatists in the eastern part of the country, was meant to pressure Zelenskiy to undertake the investigations.
"I became aware that Mr Giuliani, a private lawyer, was taking a direct role in Ukrainian diplomacy," Holmes said. Nunes said Hill "claimed that some committee members deny that Russia meddled in the 2016 election" but said a report by Intelligence Committee Republicans "analysed the 2016 Russia meddling campaign."
