1 / 4Trump ImpeachmentDeputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent, second from right, arrives to appear before a joint House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Committee on Oversight and Reform for a deposition on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2019.
In 10 hours of testimony Monday, a former White House aide, Fiona Hill, recounted that national security adviser John Bolton was so alarmed by Rudy Giuliani's back-channel activities in Ukraine that he described Trump's personal lawyer as a"hand grenade who is going to blow everybody up." Giuliani also acknowledged he had received payments totaling $500,000 related to the work for a company operated by Lev Parnas who, along with associate Igor Fruman, played a key role in Giuliani's efforts to launch a Ukrainian corruption investigation against Biden and his son, Hunter. The two men were arrested last week on campaign finance charges as they tried to board an international flight.
Hill also told the investigators that she had strongly and repeatedly objected to Yovanovitch's ouster, according to the person familiar with the testimony. Yovanovitch testified to the impeachment investigators Friday that Trump pressured the State Department to fire her. Sondland, who is the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, is expected to tell Congress that a text message released earlier this month reassuring another envoy that there was no quid pro quo in their interactions with Ukraine was based solely on what Trump told him, according to a person familiar with his coming testimony.

White House: Trump ‘strongly condemns’ parody video of him shooting critics and media in churchThe White House on Monday tried to distance itself from a violent parody video that was shown at a pro-Trump conference at the president’s Doral Miami resort over the weekend. Was it supposed to include use of NOVACHUK? Bullshit! The creator of that video has been a guest of the White House in the past. Trump loves his “work”. And it’s about time the media start giving Logan Cook the appropriate credit for his work by applying his name to it.
