His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>Billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of the world’s richest men, has formally launched a Democratic bid for president. Ending weeks of speculation, the 77-year-old former Republican announced his candidacy Sunday in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.mikebloomberg.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIna-FgKaD5gIVrB-tBh2F0w2GEAAYASAAEgKa6fD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">written statement\u003c/a> posted on a campaign website describing himself as uniquely positioned to defeat President Trump. He will quickly follow with a massive advertising campaign blanketing airways in key primary states across the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m running for president to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America,” Bloomberg wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We cannot afford four more years of President Trump’s reckless and unethical actions,” he continued. “He represents an existential threat to our country and our values. If he wins another term in office, we may never recover from the damage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bloomberg’s entrance comes just 10 weeks before primary voting begins, an unorthodox move that reflects anxiety within the Democratic Party about the strength of its current candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a centrist with deep ties to Wall Street, Bloomberg is expected to struggle among the party’s energized progressive base.

Ending weeks of speculation, the 77-year-old former Republican announced his candidacy Sunday in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.mikebloomberg.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIna-FgKaD5gIVrB-tBh2F0w2GEAAYASAAEgKa6fD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">written statement\u003c/a> posted on a campaign website describing himself as uniquely positioned to defeat President Trump. He will quickly follow with a massive advertising campaign blanketing airways in key primary states across the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m running for president to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America,” Bloomberg wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We cannot afford four more years of President Trump’s reckless and unethical actions,” he continued. “He represents an existential threat to our country and our values. If he wins another term in office, we may never recover from the damage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bloomberg’s entrance comes just 10 weeks before primary voting begins, an unorthodox move that reflects anxiety within the Democratic Party about the strength of its current candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a centrist with deep ties to Wall Street, Bloomberg is expected to struggle among the party’s energized progressive base. He became a Democrat only last year. Yet his tremendous resources and moderate profile could be appealing in a primary contest that has become, above all, a quest to find the person best-positioned to deny Trump a second term next November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was the beginning of the second week of the congressional impeachment inquiry, and Bailey’s class had already watched some of the previous week’s hearings, including key segments of testimony from William B.

Kent, a senior State Department official in charge of Ukraine policy and Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each student held a packet of documents, including the transcript of President Trump’s call with Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if it jeopardizes national security or not. It just still is wrong,” said Alex George. “He’s taking his power as the president.

During that encounter, Sondland called Trump on his mobile phone to talk about the \"investigations\" that Trump wanted from his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskiy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holmes told the committee Thursday that he remembered the call because \"I've never seen anything like this in my foreign service career,\" describing hearing the president on the phone at a restaurant. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Holmes testified, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1197521967777222656?s=20\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a> that \"I have been watching people making phone calls my entire life. My hearing is, and has been, great. Never have I been watching a person making a call, which was not on speakerphone, and been able to hear or understand a conversation.

The Democrats are clearly being motivated by a sick hatred for President Trump and their rabid desire to overturn the 2016 election. The American people deserve better.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Domestic political errand'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an absorbing exchange, Hill testified that she asked Sondland \"who put you in charge of Ukraine, which I admit was a bit rude and he told me 'the President,' which shut me up.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said in a subsequent meeting she was angry with Sondland because he wasn't coordinating with the National Security Council on Ukraine policy. She said Sondland told her he had been briefing President Trump, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hill testified that Sondland asked, \"who else do I have to deal with?\" She said she responded at the time that there is a robust coordination process across the U.S. government. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after hearing Sondland's testimony on Wednesday, Hill said she realized Sondland was right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was being involved in a domestic political errand. And we were being involved in national security foreign policy, and those two things had just diverged,\" said Hill. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added, \"I did say to Ambassador Sondland, \"Gordon I think this is all going to blow up. And here we are.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"impeachment\" label=\"Related “Coverage\"]Hill previously told impeachment investigators in her closed-door deposition that she resented the smear campaign run against the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch by Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hill also is a key witness about the former national security adviser John Bolton, who has been described as an important player in the Ukraine saga but from whom Congress has not heard directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bolton, per Hill, warned about the \"drug deal\" being cooked up by Trump's deputies with Ukraine and about the role played by Giuliani, whom Hill said Bolton called a \"hand grenade that is going to blow everybody up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his testimony Wednesday, Sondland didn't dispute much of what Holmes has told investigators about the episode, but there was one key discrepancy — over the specific words he used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holmes said that Sondland told him that Trump only cared about \"big stuff\" that affected him, like what Holmes called the \"Biden investigation\" Trump wanted from Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sondland says he didn't know in real time that the investigation connected with the word \"Burisma\" — a Ukrainian company that for a time paid the son of former Vice President Joe Biden — was, in effect, code for the Biden family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hill testified Thursday that it \"was very apparent to me that was what Rudy Giuliani intended.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his closing remarks, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., drew a parallel between this impeachment probe and Watergate, saying that Trump's alleged transgressions are \"beyond anything that Nixon did.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference he said is between this Congress and that one, in which Republicans gradually stopped supporting President Nixon. \"Where is Howard Baker?\" Schiff asked, referring to Republican senator from that time who helped lead the Watergate investigation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff said that in his view, \"there is nothing more dangerous than an unethical president who believes he is above the law. We are better than that,\" Schiff said, banging the gavel down to close the session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ik_k2Fm3RM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What comes next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One question raised by the Thursday session — and not yet answered definitively by Democrats — is whether it will be the last.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff, who has been leading this phase of the impeachment inquiry, hasn't said definitively whether the hearing would end his portion of the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That matters because it affects the timing of the balance of Democrats' putative impeachment program: Once Schiff's panel concludes its work, action could then shift to the House Judiciary Committee, which would need to initiate and advance articles of impeachment to the full House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At her weekly news conference Thursday, Pelosi said there are no decisions yet on the timeline for impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She deferred to committees of jurisdiction about any additional open hearings or deposition, but said the facts are \"uncontested\" as to what happened. Pelosi repeatedly said if the president has something to offer that is exculpatory he should submit \"under oath.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pushed back at a question about the impeachment process not being bipartisan, as she initially said it needed to be, saying \"if Republicans are denial about the facts, if the Republicans do not want to honor their oath of office then I don't think we should be characterized in any way because we are patriotic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The speaker said the president has responded to the inquiry in a way that \"is beneath the dignity\" of the office of the presidency and added he sets \"a very bad example for our children in the manner in which he behaves and speaks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about waiting for the legal battles to play out Pelosi said \"we cannot be at the mercy of the courts.\" She said the \"that's a technique on the part of the administration\" to delay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are moving at the pace that truth takes us,\" Pelosi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Trump were impeached in the House, a trial would be held in the Senate — one that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said this week that he's convinced Trump would win. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

We all understood that these prerequisites for the White House call and White House meeting reflected President Trump’s desires and requirements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Was there a ‘quid pro quo’?” Sondland said in his opening remarks.”With regard to the requested White House call and White House meeting, the answer is yes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sondland testified for nearly seven hours Tuesday. The chairman of the House Intelligence panel, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., called it “a seminal moment in our investigation, saying Sondland’s testimony was “deeply significant and troubling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were more revelations later in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laura Cooper, a deputy assistant secretary at the Defense Department, whose portfolio includes policy for Eastern Europe, told House lawmakers that the Ukrainian Embassy asked about the hold on security assistance on July 25, the day the Trump spoke to Zelenskiy. That’s an earlier date than past accounts — and undercuts a key Republican talking point defending the president: that there was no wrongdoing because the Ukrainians weren’t even aware that a hold was put on the aid. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper said she was made aware by her staff of the Ukrainians asking about the aid only after the release Nov. 11 of the transcript of her deposition Oct. 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, David Hale, a senior State Department official, said he learned about the hold during a July 26 meeting in which an OMB official had said that the president objected to releasing the funds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘In the loop’ or ‘completely exonerates’?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sondland, who spent most of his career as a real estate and hotel developer, provided the most explicit link yet of the secretary of state’s role in the Ukraine affair. He said he kept Mike Pompeo and other senior State Department officials abreast of his contacts with Giuliani, who “specifically mentioned the 2016 election (including the DNC server) and Burisma as two topics of importance to the president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They knew what we were doing and why,” Sondland said of Pompeo and the others. He added, “Everyone was in the loop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House disagreed, issuing a statement titled “Ambassador Sondland Completely Exonerates President Trump of Any Wrongdoing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Sondland] testified to the fact that President Trump never told him that a White House meeting or the aid to Ukraine was tied to receiving a public statement from President Zelensky,” said White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department in a statement said “Sondland never told Secretary Pompeo that he believed the President was linking aid to investigations of political opponents. Any suggestion to the contrary is flat out false.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sondland, a major donor to Trump’s inauguration, has emerged as a pivotal witness as the Democrats attempt to make the case that the president sought an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter from Ukraine’s newly elected president in exchange for the resumption of military aid and a White House visit. Hunter Biden was on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump denies any such linkage was made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"impeachment\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]Schiff asked Sondland, who testified Wednesday under subpoena, whether the president conditioned a White House meeting with Zelenskiy on Ukraine conducting investigations into Burisma and a debunked theory alleging Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sondland responded that Zelenskiy “had to announce the investigations, he didn’t actually have to do them, as I understood it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in an exchange that Republicans would highlight, Sondland said, “President Trump never told me directly that aid was conditioned on the meetings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Four-letter and three-letter words\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a lighter moment, when asked whether he recalled telling Trump in a September phone call that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy “loves your ass,” Sondland laughed and said, “It sounds like something I would say. That’s how President Trump and I communicate, a lot of four-letter words.

We all understood that these prerequisites for the White House call and White House meeting reflected President Trump’s desires and requirements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Was there a ‘quid pro quo’?” Sondland said in his opening remarks.”With regard to the requested White House call and White House meeting, the answer is yes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sondland testified for nearly seven hours Tuesday. The chairman of the House Intelligence panel, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., called it “a seminal moment in our investigation, saying Sondland’s testimony was “deeply significant and troubling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s an earlier date than past accounts — and undercuts a key Republican talking point defending the president: that there was no wrongdoing because the Ukrainians weren’t even aware that a hold was put on the aid. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper said she was made aware by her staff of the Ukrainians asking about the aid only after the release Nov. 11 of the transcript of her deposition Oct. 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, David Hale, a senior State Department official, said he learned about the hold during a July 26 meeting in which an OMB official had said that the president objected to releasing the funds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘In the loop’ or ‘completely exonerates’?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sondland, who spent most of his career as a real estate and hotel developer, provided the most explicit link yet of the secretary of state’s role in the Ukraine affair. He said he kept Mike Pompeo and other senior State Department officials abreast of his contacts with Giuliani, who “specifically mentioned the 2016 election (including the DNC server) and Burisma as two topics of importance to the president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They knew what we were doing and why,” Sondland said of Pompeo and the others. He added, “Everyone was in the loop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House disagreed, issuing a statement titled “Ambassador Sondland Completely Exonerates President Trump of Any Wrongdoing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Sondland] testified to the fact that President Trump never told him that a White House meeting or the aid to Ukraine was tied to receiving a public statement from President Zelensky,” said White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department in a statement said “Sondland never told Secretary Pompeo that he believed the President was linking aid to investigations of political opponents. Any suggestion to the contrary is flat out false.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sondland, a major donor to Trump’s inauguration, has emerged as a pivotal witness as the Democrats attempt to make the case that the president sought an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter from Ukraine’s newly elected president in exchange for the resumption of military aid and a White House visit. Hunter Biden was on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump denies any such linkage was made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lawmakers earlier heard from two other witnesses who listened firsthand to the call with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, a key moment in the Ukraine affair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The phone call with Ukraine’s president that President Trump has repeatedly characterized as “perfect” was called “improper” by a National Security Council staff member Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, an Army foreign area officer who serves on the National Security Council. Jennifer Williams, a foreign service officer detailed to the staff of Vice President Pence also testified about the July call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"impeachment\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volker was at the center of the alternate policy channel for Ukraine run by Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and Volker helped broker an important meeting between Giuliani and an aide to Zelenskiy this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his opening statement, Volker changed some key aspects of his testimony behind doors last month, saying “a great deal of additional information and perspectives have come to light” since then. He said he did not know of any linkage between the hold on U.S. military aid to Ukraine and the country’s pursuing investigations, and he said he did not convey such a linkage to the Ukrainians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volker also initially said there was no discussion in a July 10 meeting between then-National Security Adviser John Bolton and Ukrainian official Alex Danylyuk of Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani’s investigation of the Bidens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in Tuesday’s opening statement, Volker testified “As I remember, the meeting was essentially over when Ambassador Sondland made a generic comment about investigations.” Volker continued “I think all of us thought it was inappropriate; the conversation did not continue and the meeting concluded.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volker said he did not understand that others believed that any investigation of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, “was tantamount to investigating Vice President Biden.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former Ukraine envoy said he had known Biden for 24 years, calling him “an honorable man and I hold him in the highest regard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volker also said that he didn’t think that “raising the 2016 elections or Vice President Biden or these things I consider to be conspiracy theories that have been circulated by the Ukrainians” should be should be pursued as part of the U.S. security strategy with Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morrison was also among those who heard the Trump-Zelenskiy call firsthand when it happened, and although he testified that he was concerned about what might have happened if it became public, he saw nothing illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He testified Tuesday that he was disappointed in the call between the two presidents, explaining he was “hoping to hear a more full-throated” endorsement of Zelenskiy’s reform agenda from Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked by majority counsel Daniel Goldman if he agreed that asking a foreign government to investigate a domestic political rival is inappropriate, Morrison responded, “it’s not what we recommended the president discuss.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the first panel of the day wrapped up, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Vindman and Williams’ testimony provided nothing new, calling the proceedings “illegitimate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However, buried among the witnesses’ personal opinions and conjecture about a call the White House long ago released to the public, both witnesses testified the July 25 transcript was ‘accurate’ and nothing President Trump has done or said amounts to ‘bribery’ or any other crime,” her statement said. “Today’s hearing only further exposes that Chairman Schiff and the Democrats are simply blinded by their hatred for Donald Trump and rabid desire to overturn the outcome of a free and fair election.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11787376\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11787376\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920-800x545.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920-800x545.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920-1020x695.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920-1200x818.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">National Security Council Ukraine expert Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and Jennifer Williams, an aide to Vice President Mike Pence, take the oath before they testify during the House Intelligence Committee hearing into President Trump’s alleged efforts to tie U.S. aid for Ukraine to investigations of his political opponents, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 19, 2019. \u003ccite>(Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Improper’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman testified Tuesday that he was concerned by the call, because “what I heard was improper,” and said that he reported his concerns to NSC lawyer John Eisenberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is improper for the president of the United States to demand a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen and political opponent,” Vindman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams, for her part, has told House investigators she thought Trump’s requests were “unusual and inappropriate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman also said in earlier closed-door testimony that Eisenberg moved the official record of the call onto a highly classified system that few could access — a decision that Vindman called a departure from protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman also stated that it was his view that Trump demanded Zelenskiy conduct an investigation into the activities of former vice president and potential 2020 opponent Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s involvement in Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman said there was a “power disparity” between the two presidents and that because of his military culture, “a request, no matter how politely expressed,” is an order or demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has argued that there was no pressure on the call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Do not worry’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Testifying in his military uniform, Vindman movingly referred to his father, who fled the Soviet Union with his family to the U.S.: “Dad, I’m sitting here today in the U.S. Capitol, talking to our elected officials is proof that you made the right decision 40 years ago to leave the Soviet Union.” Vindman continued, “Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked later why he was confident that he could tell his father not to worry about challenging the president, Vindman responded, “Here, right matters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was followed by applause in the hearing room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman also lashed out at the attacks on the three witnesses who testified before the panel last week. “The vile character attacks on these distinguished and honorable public servants is reprehensible,” Vindman said. He added, “We are better than personal attacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Vindman testified, the official White House Twitter account \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1196848072929796096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1196848072929796096&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fseamus.npr.org%2Ftemplates%2Fpreview%2FtwitterPreview.php%3FtweetId%3D1196848072929796096%26hideMedia%3Dtrue\">tweeted criticism of Vindman\u003c/a> from his former boss, Morrison, who is testifying later Tuesday. The tweet quoted Morrison as saying “I had concerns about Lieutenant Colonel Vindman’s judgment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1196848072929796096\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tussle over potential whistleblower identity\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., interrupted Republican ranking member Devin Nunes’ questioning of Vindman when Nunes appeared to try to get Vindman to identify the whistleblower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman was testifying that he spoke to two people outside of the White House about providing a readout of the July 25 call. He said one was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent, and he identified the other as a member of the intelligence community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Nunes pressed Vindman for the name of the agency, Schiff interjected. “The whistleblower has the statutory right to anonymity,” he said. “These proceedings will not be used to out the whistleblower.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman said he did not know the whistleblower, whose official complaint sparked the impeachment inquiry, but said his counsel advised him not to answer specific questions about who he spoke with in the intelligence community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the exchange, Vindman also corrected Nunes when Nunes called him “Mr. Vindman.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ranking member, it’s Lt. Col. Vindman, please.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Attacks on ‘loyalties’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under questioning from GOP counsel Steve Castor, Vindman acknowledged that he was asked three times by Ukrainian officials to be the country’s defense minister. Vindman said he dismissed the offer each time and said he told his chain of command and the “appropriate counterintelligence folks about the offer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman testified that it would be “a great honor,” but that “I’m an American, I came here when I was a toddler, and I immediately dismissed these offers, did not entertain them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., told Vindman the questions about the Ukrainian offer “were designed exclusively to give the right-wing media the opening to attack your loyalties.” He added, “It’s the kind of thing you say when you’re defending the indefensible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1196155347117002752\">a Trump tweet\u003c/a> that labeled her a “never Trumper,” Williams said “It certainly surprised me. I didn’t expect to be called out by name.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if he were a “never Trumper,” Vindman replied, “I would call myself never partisan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1196155347117002752\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s response was the second time he has posted about a witness in the ongoing hearings, following a tweet last week about Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s ongoing responses to the impeachment inquiry have raised questions about whether they could become the subject of eventual articles of impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats say the president is trying to dissuade people from talking publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I absolutely believe this is witness intimidation,” Rep.

He said he did not know of any linkage between the hold on U.S. military aid to Ukraine and the country’s pursuing investigations, and he said he did not convey such a linkage to the Ukrainians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volker also initially said there was no discussion in a July 10 meeting between then-National Security Adviser John Bolton and Ukrainian official Alex Danylyuk of Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani’s investigation of the Bidens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in Tuesday’s opening statement, Volker testified “As I remember, the meeting was essentially over when Ambassador Sondland made a generic comment about investigations.” Volker continued “I think all of us thought it was inappropriate; the conversation did not continue and the meeting concluded.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volker said he did not understand that others believed that any investigation of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, “was tantamount to investigating Vice President Biden.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former Ukraine envoy said he had known Biden for 24 years, calling him “an honorable man and I hold him in the highest regard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volker also said that he didn’t think that “raising the 2016 elections or Vice President Biden or these things I consider to be conspiracy theories that have been circulated by the Ukrainians” should be should be pursued as part of the U.S. security strategy with Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morrison was also among those who heard the Trump-Zelenskiy call firsthand when it happened, and although he testified that he was concerned about what might have happened if it became public, he saw nothing illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He testified Tuesday that he was disappointed in the call between the two presidents, explaining he was “hoping to hear a more full-throated” endorsement of Zelenskiy’s reform agenda from Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked by majority counsel Daniel Goldman if he agreed that asking a foreign government to investigate a domestic political rival is inappropriate, Morrison responded, “it’s not what we recommended the president discuss.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the first panel of the day wrapped up, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Vindman and Williams’ testimony provided nothing new, calling the proceedings “illegitimate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However, buried among the witnesses’ personal opinions and conjecture about a call the White House long ago released to the public, both witnesses testified the July 25 transcript was ‘accurate’ and nothing President Trump has done or said amounts to ‘bribery’ or any other crime,” her statement said. “Today’s hearing only further exposes that Chairman Schiff and the Democrats are simply blinded by their hatred for Donald Trump and rabid desire to overturn the outcome of a free and fair election.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11787376\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11787376\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920-800x545.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920-800x545.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920-1020x695.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920-1200x818.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/williams-vindman-1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">National Security Council Ukraine expert Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and Jennifer Williams, an aide to Vice President Mike Pence, take the oath before they testify during the House Intelligence Committee hearing into President Trump’s alleged efforts to tie U.S. aid for Ukraine to investigations of his political opponents, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 19, 2019. \u003ccite>(Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Improper’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman testified Tuesday that he was concerned by the call, because “what I heard was improper,” and said that he reported his concerns to NSC lawyer John Eisenberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is improper for the president of the United States to demand a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen and political opponent,” Vindman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams, for her part, has told House investigators she thought Trump’s requests were “unusual and inappropriate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman also said in earlier closed-door testimony that Eisenberg moved the official record of the call onto a highly classified system that few could access — a decision that Vindman called a departure from protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman also stated that it was his view that Trump demanded Zelenskiy conduct an investigation into the activities of former vice president and potential 2020 opponent Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s involvement in Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman said there was a “power disparity” between the two presidents and that because of his military culture, “a request, no matter how politely expressed,” is an order or demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has argued that there was no pressure on the call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Do not worry’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Testifying in his military uniform, Vindman movingly referred to his father, who fled the Soviet Union with his family to the U.S.: “Dad, I’m sitting here today in the U.S. Capitol, talking to our elected officials is proof that you made the right decision 40 years ago to leave the Soviet Union.” Vindman continued, “Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked later why he was confident that he could tell his father not to worry about challenging the president, Vindman responded, “Here, right matters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was followed by applause in the hearing room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman also lashed out at the attacks on the three witnesses who testified before the panel last week. “The vile character attacks on these distinguished and honorable public servants is reprehensible,” Vindman said. He added, “We are better than personal attacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Vindman testified, the official White House Twitter account \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1196848072929796096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1196848072929796096&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fseamus.npr.org%2Ftemplates%2Fpreview%2FtwitterPreview.php%3FtweetId%3D1196848072929796096%26hideMedia%3Dtrue\">tweeted criticism of Vindman\u003c/a> from his former boss, Morrison, who is testifying later Tuesday.

He said one was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent, and he identified the other as a member of the intelligence community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Nunes pressed Vindman for the name of the agency, Schiff interjected. “The whistleblower has the statutory right to anonymity,” he said. “These proceedings will not be used to out the whistleblower.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman said he did not know the whistleblower, whose official complaint sparked the impeachment inquiry, but said his counsel advised him not to answer specific questions about who he spoke with in the intelligence community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the exchange, Vindman also corrected Nunes when Nunes called him “Mr. Vindman.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ranking member, it’s Lt.

Vindman said he dismissed the offer each time and said he told his chain of command and the “appropriate counterintelligence folks about the offer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vindman testified that it would be “a great honor,” but that “I’m an American, I came here when I was a toddler, and I immediately dismissed these offers, did not entertain them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., told Vindman the questions about the Ukrainian offer “were designed exclusively to give the right-wing media the opening to attack your loyalties.” He added, “It’s the kind of thing you say when you’re defending the indefensible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1196155347117002752\">a Trump tweet\u003c/a> that labeled her a “never Trumper,” Williams said “It certainly surprised me.
