The most explosive moments of the impeachment inquiry

The most explosive moments of the impeachment inquiry yet included Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, saying yesterday that President Trump effectively directed him to broker a quid pro quo with Ukraine. Sondland testified that “everyone was in the loop,” a revelation that may mean Democrats will push for an appearance from high-profile witnesses like Secretary of State Michael Pompeo or Rudy Giuliani, who have so far refused to cooperate. Today the inquiry will hear from Fiona Hill, the former National Security Council director on Russia and Eastern Europe. [Bloomberg 11-21-19]
