The impeachment probe of US President Donald Trump continues with a testimony of Vice President Pence's aide, while former national security adviser John Bolton fails to heed a request to appear
Jennifer Williams, a special adviser to Vice President Mike Pence for Europe and Russia who is a career Foreign Service officer, arrives for a closed-door interview in the impeachment inquiry on President Donald Trump's efforts to press Ukraine to investigate his political rival, Joe Biden, at the Capitol in Washington on Thursday, November 7, 2019.
Lawmakers are seeking information from Williams about how much Pence knew about efforts by Trump and those around him to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, as well as foreign interference in the 2016 US election. The House investigation is focused on a July 25 phone call in which Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate Biden, a leading Democratic rival at the November 2020 presidential election. Williams was one of a handful of US officials who listened in on the call.
Democrats have been releasing transcripts of previous closed-door interviews this week as they prepare the first public impeachment hearings next week.Three US diplomats who expressed alarm about Trump's dealings with Ukraine and have already testified in private will serve as star witnesses.
