Good evening tonight, impeachment testimony from the top US diplomat in Ukraine.

And before you think that you've heard all this before because it's the third straight

day of transcripts, we advise you to sit up and listen closely to what William Taylor

said to investigators because what he said, it could have huge implications for investigators

for Rudy Giuliani and for the president.

Because this long serving career diplomat who is also a West Point graduate and a Vietnam

war veteran who was called back to service by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to lawmakers

it was his clear understanding, his words, his clear understanding that US security aid

was being withheld from Ukraine until Ukraine did for President Trump what would amount to

personal political favors for, quote, domestic political gain as Taylor put it.

And though he says he did not hear any direct orders from the president himself, Ambassador

Taylor does draw a straight line to Donald Trump.

Running according to his testimony right through the president's private attorney and apparent

backman Rudy Giuliani.

The same Giuliani whose name came up 480 times in the transcripts that we saw yesterday,

480 times.

He is all over the testimony again tonight.

And in a twist Giuliani today said he was acting solely in the interest of his client

the president, said in the stage some legal experts believe for claiming attorney client

privilege rather than answering what could be some very serious questions.

And which will no doubt come up a second time when Ambassador Taylor testifies again next

week in public on camera in person.
