One of special counsel Robert Mueller's top prosecutors said there was a "notable" takeaway from U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland's impeachment testimony on Wednesday.
Andrew Weissmann, a former Justice Department official who was known as Mueller's "pitbull" during the Russia investigation, suggested House Democrats should take a cue from Sondland's opening statement and seek out the emails, phone records, and other documents that he testified the White House and State Department have blocked him from accessing.
"The one thing that I think was notable in especially the opening statement was that you had the witness telling you there are documents out there — get them," Weissmann, now an NBC News legal analyst, said on MSNBC.
