JM Rieger ✔ @RiegerReport KURT VOLKER on July 10 White House meeting with Ukrainians: "The meeting was essentially over when SONDLAND made a general comment about investigations. I think all of us thought it was inappropriate ... I do not recall further discussion regarding investigations or Burisma." 4:25 p.m. Morrison says Trump's mention of the Bidens and Crowdstrike during the July 25 call with Zelensky weren't part of his NSC-supplied talking points. After a morning session of public impeachment testimony from Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and Russia adviser Jennifer Williams, former National Security Council aide Timothy Morrison and Kurt Volker, Trump’s former special envoy to Ukraine for peace negotiations will appear for testimony. Morrison listened in on the infamous July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukraine's newly elected President, Volodomyr Zelensky, in which Trump requested that Ukraine investigate several matters, including Joe and Hunter Biden as well as 2016 US election meddling. Democrats claim Trump's request constitute election interference, however earlier in the day Vindman told the House Intelligence Committee that it's perfectly acceptable for Presidents to request foreign investigations. Trump War Room (Text TRUMP to 88022) Verified account @TrumpWarRoom DEMOCRAT: "Would it ever be U.S. policy in your experience to ask a foreign leader to open a political investigation?" VINDMAN: "There are proper procedures in which to do that. Certainly the President is well within his right to do that." According to a Reuters anonymous source, Volker was central to discussions with Ukraine which would have involved whether the White House withheld US aid in exchange for investigations into gas firm Burisma and the Bidens. "He knew that Volker and Sondland and Kent were on top of this and were dealing with it on the day to day... His take on this was ... he should let those people do their job." According to Fox News, a total of nine current and former US officials are set to testify over the next three days in the House's impeachment inquiry.
