Though, mercifully, the Ukraine scandal is far less confusing than Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, it can be hard to keep track of the constant drip of information.
George Kent: The deputy assistant secretary for European and Eurasian affairs, Kent is a career State Department official who oversees U.S. policy on Ukraine. In October, he testified that the White House plan to pressure Ukraine to investigate “corruption” in the country was code for its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to look for compromising information on Trump’s political opponents. Kent testified publicly on Wednesday, November 13.
Wednesday, November 13: What You Missed The Big Takeaway: George Kent and Bill Taylor largely reiterated what they’ve told House investigators in private, describing how President Trump had made Ukraine’s launching an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden a condition for “everything” about the U.S. relationship with the country — including withholding both important military aide and a meeting between Trump and Zelensky.
