NSC official corroborates key testimony in Trump impeachment inquiry
Tim Morrison seemed to exculpate Trump by suggesting Gordon Sondland was conducting a rogue foreign policy in Ukraine
In a deposition before the congressional impeachment committees Thursday, a national security council (NSC) official corroborated prior testimony describing efforts by the Trump administration to strike a suspicious deal with Ukrainians.
But the official, Tim Morrison, seemed to lay groundwork in his testimony for an exculpation of Donald Trump and suggested that Gordon Sondland, the US ambassador to the EU, was unilaterally conducting a rogue foreign policy in Ukraine.
