'People have to stand up and say and talk clearly to the American people. This is wrong. I mean you cannot use your official resources--official resources of the government--to investigate your political opponent.'

The debate between the two former representatives follows what has been described as a monumental testimony on Capitol Hill. The top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, William Taylor, reportedly told impeachment investigators on Tuesday that Trump directly linked aid to Ukraine and his demand that the country investigate Trump's political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

Taylor was the latest of a string of high-profile figures to testify to speak with House Democrats investigating whether Trump withheld $400 million in security assistance from Ukraine unless the country conducted an investigation that could politically benefit Trump. Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney complicated Republicans' efforts to discredit the Democrats' investigations last week, when he appeared to admit what critics have alleged: that Trump linked aid to Ukraine with an investigation that would benefit him personally. Mulvaney later attempted to walk back the comments.
