Thirty-eight minutes into his opening statement during Wednesday's impeachment hearing, Amb. Bill Taylor, the career foreign service officer and top US diplomat to Ukraine, paused, took a drink of water, and delivered the day's biggest bombshell.
Less than a week earlier, Taylor learned that a member of his staff had overheard President Donald Trump discussing"the investigations" in Ukraine while on the phone with EU ambassador Gordon Sondland. That newly disclosed call took place on July 26, one day after the now infamous call between Trump and new Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky."The member of my staff could hear President Trump on the phone, asking Ambassador Sondland about 'the investigations.
"Donald Trump was even more involved than we even thought before," he said.For Republicans, however, it was as if Taylor's big reveal never happened. None of them asked Taylor substantive questions about the Sondland-Trump phone call, and after the hearing dismissed its importance."I think it's secondhand," said Rep. Chris Stewart, a Republican member of the committee, when asked about the phone call.
