any political motivation to what she was saying. and so the mood was a lot different after watching her. so the question now is how long duh it stay like that? would that mentality does it change with gordon sondland? is he someone people find believable? saying, yes he did speak with the president on occasion, but it wasn t that much. he keeps changing his story. that s what they re trying to navigate right now. but you saw their mood definitely change in between those two days. all right. thank you very much. stick around. we have many more questions for you. president trump is lashing out at yet another witness. jennifer williams testifies tomorrow. this comes after the president attacked ambassador yovanovitch while she was testifying to congress. witness intimidation, a phrase you re hearing democrats say. how much in is that? that s next.
the questions about their aid is where is it and why don t we have it yet. the other thing about the williams situation with the tweet from the president, the big republican defense after he tweeted about yovanovitch is it can t be witness intimidation. obviously jennifer williams has not notten to testify yet. i think it gives more strength to the democratic argument. we ve seen people like nancy pelosi go as far to say it wasn t witness intimidation. the other big story over the weekend is the president s health. which we simply at this point don t know we don t know why he made that unscheduled visit. he went to walter reed for what the white house claims was the first part of his annual checkup. except it wasn t scheduled and broke protocol. and as we ve been noting, they haven t built up a reservoir of trust about things they say. first of all, what do we know about it in. what s interesting here is what was different about the times in the past that he s gotten a physic
lashing out. what s interesting is that trump is accusing jennifer williams, an aide to mike pence, of being a never trumper. this comes after a transcript of williams private testimony reveals she described the call with ukraine s president as, quote, unusual and inappropriate. this all as mr. trump s realtime attack on marie yovanovitch which sparked a debate over whether the president is guilty of witness intimidation. and most significantly over the weekend, there are questions about president trump s health this morning after a visit to walter reed hospital that did not follow protocol of a presidential medical exam. number one, this broke protocol. it was different from anything we ve seen. number two, we haven t seen the president since he was walking to the car to get to this appointment. and number three, there s not exactly a reservoir of deep trust when it comes to things
because the wild card is always the president. and his twitter account. i think the other thing about jennifer williams and it s not getting as much attention is she does place vice president pence in an awkward position. he either has to argue he doesn t read his briefing book, doesn t listen to his staff, or i was in on this. it s one or the other. so far he s escaped scrutiny here, but he was preefed on his way to warsaw by her and apparently was in his briefing book. and there s one more thing i think is important at that warsaw meeting. republicans keep saying it can t be a quid pro quo because zelensky didn t know the military aid was being held up. ukrainians didn t know that. the first question at that september 1st meeting between vice president pence and zelensky s people was wherest the military aid? they did know. of course they knew. and vice president knows they knew. well, that s the question of just exactly what was kmaunted. because so far he s maintained these con
as i ve said from the beginning, i think this is not okay. the president of the united states shouldn t even in the original phone call be on the phone with a president of another country and raise his political opponent. but if you look at sondland s testimony which is also public, he says that the direction he received from the president of the united states was no quid pro quo. president trump again lashing out at another witness in a tweet. in a transcript released this weekend, jennifer williams, a state department employee who listened to the july 25th phone call between president trump and the ukrainian president. she told impeachment investigators president trump s request struck her as, quote, unusual and inroept. mike pence s office is making a concerted effort to distance itself from williams who is slated to testify tomorrow. releasing a statement emphasizing, quote, jennifer is a state department employee. and this jam packed week on
