House Democrats on Monday released hundreds of pages of deposition transcripts that included testimony by a former top diplomat of feeling personally “threatened” by President Donald Trump’s phone call to Ukraine’s president and that a former senior adviser to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo resigned in large part because Pompeo didn’t do enough to protect her.
At issue is whether Trump used his power as a sitting president for personal gain by trying to convince a foreign government to investigate a U.S. citizen – in this case former vice president and potential 2020 presidential rival Joe Biden.McKinley said the idea of a president using the America’s diplomatic staff to dig up dirt on a political opponent was a first for him and in part why he decided to resign.
In his July 25 phone call to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Trump called Yovanovitch “bad news” and urged the leader to work with his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani instead. “Did you feel threatened?” an investigator asked Yovanovitch about Trump’s remark that she was going to “go through things.”Yovanovitch also testified that she was told by her superiors at the State Department that Trump had wanted her out in summer of 2018 and that Pompeo “had tried to protect me but was no longer able to do that.”
In his testimony, McKinley told lawmakers that he had three separate conversations with Pompeo about the need to defend Yovanovitch, but did not receive a response.
Hahaha this is all you got from the star witness Really tho
Soviet-style secret hearings with selective leaks only prove corrupt Democrats only work for themselves. How about passing USMCA or infrastructure improvements? Dems can’t be bothered. Trump2020Landslide
Weird how Democrat operatives feel threatened after they work against the Commander in Chief’s explicit instructions - something most people view as a traitorous act.
You do realize that an Ambassador works at the behest of the President. They can be let go at any time especially when they don’t respect the same values and policies of the President.

Maybe because she was doing something she shouldnt of been doing, every think about that?
We can only assume- well, we know what assuming does for a person🤷🏼♀️ KAG2020
Yeah right, she's using media smoke to cover up her crimes. She used the StateDept resources to illegally spy on ppl
Just another day in the life of our Chosen One, the Thug in Chief.

They are only releasing transcripts that help their case. If they wanted clarity they would release everything.

Release all you want can never have enough asswipe.
U aint tough RepAdamSchiff
Is anyone else creeped out by RepAdamSchiff ?
he always look like a maniac :)
Add it to the list, along with the attempt to fire Mueller.
How about releasing them all and let the American people read it for themselves, not just what you cherry pick to be relevant? And how about ABC actually calls them out to do this? Or you know, has at least one real journalist as an investigative reporter on this? FakeNews
What the hell does this guy need more depositions for? For 3 years he claimed to have irrefutable evidence of POTUS wrong doing. If you're still buying from this snake oil salesman, you deserve to be publicly mocked and shunned.
Democrat HATE and people in elected office who do nothing.
Why is it that he always looks like he is just wondering where the next underage boy is he can talk to?
This is some good work!!! GoDems thanks to all who are helping the ImpeachmentInquiry RepAdamSchiff SpeakerPelosi
Liar, liar Schitt
The robots are out on this thread.
Oh lordy, there are transcripts. 👍
realDonaldTrump still hasn’t figured out he’s obstructing justice every time he prevents testimony. He must have some outstanding lawyers over in the White House.
I remember Trey Gowdy holding closed door hearings, only he didn’t tell any Democratic members of the committee there were hearings. When he released transcripts they were doctored and not true.
The GOP will eventually have to make the case that Trump is the only one telling the truth. They will have to savage and smear life long military heroes , actve military members and non partisan public servants. After they do , it will be the end of the GOP. VoteBlue2020
As I'm watching this the only thing I'm thinking is the song jeepers creepers where'd you get those peepers 👀

PrincessBravato Trump administration is more like a band of thugs than a legitimate administration.
Did they get it transferred from crayon over to a pen before releasing?
She FELT threatened. Was she threatened? What was the threat? Who told her to watch her back? This is all bullshit. Who cares how she felt. How about facts, not feelings.
Wow! This really big news!
Bastards.
