Giuliani, Sondland hijacked Ukraine policy to push for probes, impeachment witness Hill says
Fiona Hill says White House officials watched as Rudy Giuliani effectively hijacked U.S. policy towards Ukraine.
Fiona Hill, the National Security Council’s former senior director for Europe and Russia, arrives to testify before the House Intelligence Committee in the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill November 21, 2019 in Washington, DC.
Hill recalled that Bolton "looked pained, and basically indicated with body language that there was nothing which we could do about it. And he then, in the course of that discussion, said that Rudy Giuliani was a hand grenade that was going to blow everyone up." In testimony Wednesday, Sondland, said he thought the meeting had been a positive step towards the goal of securing a face to face meeting between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. A day earlier, however, Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, the Ukraine director in the White House, testified that Bolton had been so upset when Sondland brought up Trump's demand for investigations that he abruptly ended the meeting.
"That's when I saw Ambassador Bolton stiffen. I was sitting behind him in the chair. I saw him sit back slightly like this," she said, demonstrating to the committee by sitting up sharply in her chair.
