Former State Department envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker reportedly plans to revise his earlier, closed-door impeachment testimony when appears before Congress this week in a public hearing, and will now say he was unaware of Trump White House efforts to push a shadow foreign policy with Ukraine.According to the New York Times, Volker will testify “he was out of the loop at key moments during President [Donald] Trump’s pressure campaign on Ukraine to turn up damaging information about Democrats.Volker’s about-face is yet another dramatic turn and could provide even more damning testimony about a possible bribery plot by the White House. Notably, it comes just one week after million-dollar Trump donor and US Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland amended his own sworn testimony in a blockbuster reversal that confirmed that the White House did, in fact, use $391 million in US military aid for Ukraine as part of a quid pro quo for an investigation into Democrats. Numerous other Trump administration witnesses had contradicted Sondland’s previous answers to Congress, suggesting the diplomat’s revised testimony was an attempt to head off possible perjury charges.
