The White House counsel during the Watergate scandal, John Dean, made the claim after the first public hearings with two witnesses.
Dean said"the evidence is there," unlike in the Watergate scandal, which early on had relied primarily on his testimony and"a few people that were lower in the pecking order than me," until the transcripts of the infamous Nixon tapes were released.
The investigations—one into former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading candidate for 2020, and one into the Democratic Party—would have been based on dubious allegations and a widely-debunked conspiracy theory. Moreover, Taylor said a member of his staff overheard Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the E.U., on a call with Trump during which the president asked about the investigations. Sondland replied that Ukraine was ready to move forward. This was the day after the Trump-Zelenskiy call of July 25.
