Here are key takeaways from the first release of transcripts from the closed-door impeachment hearings into President Trump.
November 4, 2019
WASHINGTON — House investigators released the first transcripts Monday from the closed-door impeachment hearings into President Donald Trump, providing new details about events at the center of the inquiry. The core of Giuliani’s involvement appears to revolve around his work with two businessmen, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who were arrested and charged last month with making improper U.S. campaign contributions. They had been looking to expand their energy business in Ukraine.
Yovanovitch said she raised concerns about those and other actions to the State Department. Asked if anyone at State tried to stop the efforts, she responded: “I don’t think so. I don’t think they felt they could.” So McKinley pushed for the department to put out a statement in support of Yovanovitch. Although several other top officials agreed that it should be done, he was eventually told by a press officer that Pompeo had decided not to issue a statement. McKinley said he was told that the department didn’t want to “draw undue attention to her.”
