U.S. Envoy William Taylor Says Trump Used Military Aid & White House Meeting As Leverage With Ukraine
William Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat to Ukraine, laughed at questions from House Republicans in his impeachment hearing on Wendesday. Taylor, who was called in as an open-session witness, was questioned alongside Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent.
When the GOP Counsel Steve Castor questioned Taylor, he laughed at one of the questions: whether the Rudy Giuliani’s irregular diplomatic channel was “outlandish as it could be.”
Taylor acknowledged that it was outlandish.
“This irregular channel of diplomacy is not as outlandish as it could be, is that correct?” GOP counsel asked Taylor. Taylor agreed, adding: “It’s a little unusual for the US ambassador to EU to play a role in Ukraine policy.”
