Charges brought by the house. I believe these documents are also of great importance to making sure senators have the information necessary to make a fully informed decision, this terribly weighty decision. The house has built a very strong case against the president. Maybe thats why leader mcconnell doesnt seem to want witnesses, at least not agree to them now. Maybe thats why the president is afraid, because the house case is so strong, that they dont want witnesses that might corroborate it. The evidence the house put together includes public testimony given under oath by numerous senior officials appointed by President Trump. These are trump 57. Teas were calling, not some partisan democratic. Some republican senators have said that, while the charges are serious, they havent seen enough evidence to make a decision. Thats one of the reasons i propose subpoenas for these witnesses for these documents, all directly relevant, from officials who have yesterday to testify during any sta
26. What did that come to mean . My understanding, ambassador sondlands use of that term was the three people in charge of ukraine policy during the summer where he, gordon sondland, ambassador volker and secretary perry. What did you come to, when did you come to learn about mr. Giulianis role and what do you consider his role to have been . I first heard about former mayor giulianis interest in ukraine in january of this year, that was a different phase than what happened during the summertime. Was it normal to have a person who is a privat citizen take an active role in foreign diplomacy . I did not find his particular engagement normal, no. Now, Ambassador Taylor, you testified that there are two channels, a regular and irregular. What did you see as Rudy Giulianis role in ukraine policy . Congresswoman, i came to see

screen which shows the russian occupied area of ukraine. it s about 1/5 of the country and includes the donbas region, which you just heard president zelensky say is ukraine and they will retrieve it. what is your assessment of how strong russia is? how strong is their position at this point? yeah, i think we ve seen three phases of the war. the first phase was the russians attempt to take the capitol and depose the government. that failed miserably. the ukraines were able to push them back. the second phase is to focus on the donbas region. much more of a narrow focus by the russians. they focused in the east. they turned to the western part and haven t been able to gain any operational momentum whatsoever. their casualties are a factor here. actually, their operational momentum is stall right now. so the third phase is what we re in currently.
