IMPEACHMENT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “William B. Taylor Jr., the top United States diplomat in Ukraine, appeared on Capitol Hill for testimony Wednesday [11-13-19] during public hearings as lawmakers consider whether to impeach President Trump for what Democrats say was an effort to use the power of his office for political gain. Mr. Taylor said that he was told that Mr. Trump cared more about ‘investigations of Biden’ — former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — than he did about Ukraine. The following is Mr. Taylor’s prepared opening statement, as released by the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday.”
