At his Kentucky rally, Trump stood in front of throngs of attendees wearing "Read the transcript!" shirts -- a reference to the White House's readout of the president July call with Ukraine's leader that is the center of House Democrats' formal impeachment inquiry. On Monday, House Democrats leading the inquiry publicly released the first transcripts from their closed-door interviews, airing concerns from witnesses about the activities of President Trump's associates related to Ukraine.
The panels released testimony from former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and Michael McKinley, a former senior adviser to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Among revelations in the transcripts: Yovanovitch testified that Ukraine told her about Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s campaign to oust her. Yovanovitch was pushed out of her job in May on Trump's orders.
Republicans, in turn, complained that Democrats were conducting the proceedings in private and were selectively releasing transcripts. Trump has urged Republicans to release their own transcripts. Click here for more.
