Was one of the largest allegations . I believe it was the Largest National delegation. Included in that delegation was Secretary Perry. Secretary perry, ambassador sondland, myself, ron johnson was there, and at the u. S. Embassy at the time joe pennington. We have talked a little bit this morning, but the president zelenskys inauguration came together quickly . Did. We had three days notice in which to put the delegation together. There has been discussion whether the Vice President was going to lead that effort and as it turned out, he was not able to lead it. Do you have any information where the Vice President was unable to join . I dont. Mr. Morrison, do you have any information as to why the Vice President was unable to participate in the delegation . No. Ambassador volker, you testified during your deposition that aid in fact gets held up from time to time for a whole assortment of reasons, is that your understanding . That is true. Sometimes the holdups are rooted in something
Over from here. As the president of the president of the United States continue speaking at a rally in dallas, texas. Have a great night. President trump we never lose. Sean welcome to hannity. You can see the massive crowd inside and outside the arena. Three stories high. My opening monologue on the democrats secret soviet style impeachment coup attempt.

Mean, thats the appropriate way to raise an issue with the ukrainian president , correct . Its appropriate for the Justice Department and the Prosecutor General to cooperate and to exchange information, yes. To the extent the president has concerns and to the extent the Attorney General is having u. S. Attorney durham look into it, isnt it entirely appropriate for the president to flag this for president zelensky and say youn touch with our official channels . Mr. Castor, i dont know the precise appropriateness of these kinds of relations. Now, were either of you involved with the preparation for the 7 25 call . I was not. I was not. How do you account for that . I mean, you were two of the key officials with responsibility for ukrainian policy. If the president of the United States is going to have a call with the leader of ukraine, why
wouldnt you ordinarily be involved with the preparation . Sir, we work for the Department Of State in an embassy overseas. Preparation for a president
it was according to this report a multistep intricate conspiracy that lasted months. you could see much of it laid out right here. this is the section where house democrats focus on donald trump s, quote, misconduct. the first step was get rid of the ambassador and tell on any plots. step two was of course put giuliani in charge. democrats outlining what you have heard about, freezing the military aid to ukraine in order to get leverage to extrt help with the re-election. you have steps four and five of this report, executing the plot by showing ukraine to get the money, military help or a meeting. reports showing more detail than we have ever seen in how donald trump s white house did all of this, how they conditioned this funding and that meeting to get the help they wanted and it was in exchange for those political investigations targeting the bide bidens. this is all in the new report. it is still sinking in here a few days later.
