Speaker Nancy Pelosi left open the possibility that Democrats’ impeachment inquiry will continue into next year — the strongest indication yet that their probe could interfere with the 2020 presidential race
Republicans, meanwhile, continued to downplay the president’s pressure campaign on Ukraine while largely leaving the facts of what unfolded throughout the summer undisputed.
“There was never an investigation undertaken,” added Rep. Jim Jordan , one of the lead Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee, on “Face the Nation.“ “It didn’t happen.” But Democrats note the aid wasn’t released until Sept. 11, two days after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff announced a “wide-ranging investigation” into Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine after Schiff first learned of the whistleblower complaint.
Lawmakers also heard testimony — first from William Taylor, the top American diplomat in Ukraine and later from the staffer himself — about a phone conversation a U.S. official overheard in Kyiv during which Trump asked if Ukraine had agreed to investigate Biden. Sondland is one of eight witnesses scheduled to testify publicly over three days as Democrats try to wrap up public hearings soon. Democrats are still trying to finish their full probe — including possibly voting to impeach Trump — by the end of the year.
