Four witnesses testified before lawmakers on Capitol Hill, and each failed to provide incriminating evidence of a “high crime and misdemeanor†by the president.
The day began with Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman and Jennifer Williams, a vice presidential advisor on Europe and Russia. Both morning witnesses had listened to the now infamous July 25 phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s president.
Williams characterized the call as “unusual and inappropriate,†and Vindman testified that the phone call was itself clear evidence of wrongdoing worthy of presidential removal.
