Good evening.

Tonight, new impeachment testimony that puts President Trump directly hands on and moment

to moment at the center of a scheme to squeeze Ukraine into dirtying up an American political

rival.

A first-hand account that provides further evidence that President Trump didn't really

care about corruption in general, or Ukraine's well-being, nor US policy in the region, what

he cared about, according to the New Testimony, was investigating the Biden's.

The testimony is from David Holmes, a staffer and experienced diplomat serving at the

US Embassy in Kiev.

In his opening statement, he describes a phone call the president's European Union

ambassador, Gordon Sondland, made in front of him to the president on the 26th of July.

This is the day after the president's call asking Ukraine's president to investigate a conspiracy

theory about the 2016 election, one letting Russia off the hook, and to investigate the

Biden's.

Sondland places the call in front of Holmes and others on an apparently unsecure personal

cell phone at an outdoor table in a Kiev restaurant.

The president, he says, was talking loudly enough to be overheard at times.

And, quoting now from Holmes' testimony, quote,

I heard Ambassador Sondland greet the president, explain that he was calling from Kiev.

I heard President Trump then clarify that the ambassador was in Ukraine.

Ambassador Sondland replied, yes, he was in Ukraine, and went on to state that President

Zelensky loves your ass.
