Ex-White House official testifies he wasn't concerned 'anything illegal was discussed' on Trump-Ukraine call
The president's consideration of a fireside chat came amid two developments: A sharply divided House voted Thursday to approve a resolution setting "ground rules" for the impeachment inquiry into Trump. In addition, a top White House adviser on the National Security Council who recently resigned testified to the House impeachment inquiry that he was not concerned that “anything illegal was discussed” during the president's call with Ukraine’s president. Still, Tim Morrison, whose resignation was first reported Wednesday, appeared to confirm details about Trump's efforts to push Ukraine to investigate his political rivals.
