The letter goes into detail on specific testimony from the House Intelligence Committee’s recent impeachment hearings — and that testimony, the legal scholars assert, makes a solid case for impeaching Trump.
“William B. Taylor, who leads the U.S. embassy in Ukraine, testified that President Trump directed the withholding of hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid for Ukraine in its struggle against Russia — aid that Congress determined to be in the U.S. national security interest — until Ukraine announced investigations that would aid the president’s re-election campaign,” the letter states. “Ambassador Gordon Sondland testified that the president made a White House visit for the Ukrainian president conditional on public announcement of those investigations.”
