Pompeo aide who quit suddenly last week testifies at impeachment inquiry

WASHINGTON - A former top adviser to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who abruptly resigned last week appeared on Wednesday before congressional investigators pursuing an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

Lawmakers are examining whether Trump improperly pressured Ukraine to launch an investigation of Democratic former Vice President Joe Biden, a top political rival and a leading candidate for the Democratic 2020 presidential nomination. “We’ve uncovered significant evidence of Trump’s abuse of power. And we’ll continue to expose the truth,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who is leading the impeachment inquiry, said in a tweet on Wednesday.

The House’s probe is focused on a July 25 phone call in which Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate unsubstantiated allegations against Biden and his son Hunter Biden who was on the board of a Ukrainian gas company. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday found 43% of adults in the United States believe that Trump should be impeached, down two points from a similar poll last week. Another 42% said he should not be impeached and 14% said they were not sure.

Congressional investigators also heard on Monday from Trump’s former Russia adviser, Fiona Hill, who was senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council.Gordon Sondland, a Trump political donor appointed as the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, is expected to appear later this week in response to a subpoena after he initially declined to testify.

Nobody cares anymore. These impeachment “proceedings” are just background noise and hyperbole.
