Photo-Illustration: by Stevie Remsberg; source images Getty On Wednesday, December 18 President Trump became just the third U.S. president to ever be impeached. Though, mercifully, the scandal that led us here – Trump pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rival Joe Biden – is far less confusing than Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, it can be hard to keep track of the constant drip of information.
Bill Taylor: A career diplomat and the acting ambassador to Ukraine, Taylor expressed his concerns over the president’s quid pro quo in September, writing, “I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign” in text messages to U.S. ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland. Taylor testified publicly on Wednesday, November 13.
Kurt Volker: The former U.S. special envoy for Ukraine, Volker resigned following the whistle-blower’s report which mentioned that he served as a conduit for Ukrainian officials to communicate with Rudy Giuliani. Texts that Volker provided to Congress also establish that President Zelensky understood that a potential visit to the White House depended upon an investigation into the conspiracy theory that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election, not Russia.
David Holmes: A high-ranking staffer at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, Holmes overheard a July 26 call from U.N. Ambassador Gordon Sondland to President Trump the day after Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy to investigate the Bidens. Friday, November 15: What You Missed The Big Takeaway: Yovanovitch testified about the orchestrated effort to have her removed from her post in Ukraine, highlighting Rudy Giuliani’s central role. “I do not understand Mr. Giuliani’s motives for attacking me, nor can I offer an opinion on whether he believed the allegations he spread about me,” she said.
