Trump steps up attacks on key diplomat in impeachment inquiry
By Morgan Chalfant - 10/25/19 01:25 PM EDT
President Trump on Friday called William Taylor, the top diplomat who recently testified in the House impeachment inquiry, a “Never Trumper†and said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a mistake hiring him.
“Here’s the problem: He’s a Never Trumper and his lawyer is a Never Trumper,†the president told reporters at the White House in response to a question about Taylor’s explosive testimony from earlier this week.
Taylor, the top U.S. official in Ukraine, testified behind closed doors to Congress that a White House meeting and military aid to Ukraine were contingent on Kiev opening investigations into 2016 election interference and former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden’s involvement in a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, according to his opening statement.
