A
former top national security adviser to President Trump told a secret
impeachment panel that he believed nothing improper occurred during a
July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodomyr
Zelensky, according to a transcript released over the weekend.
NSC official Tim Morrison, who was on that phone call, expressed this
narrative-killing opinion to the Democratic-led House Intelligence
Committee last month - which would have undermined recent
public testimony by several US officials who said that President Trump
abused his office when he asked Zelensky to investigate former VP Joe
Biden and matters related to the 2016 US election.
That said, Morrison also testified that US Ambassador to the EU,
Gordon Sondland, was involved in an effort to encourage Ukraine to
investigate Joe Biden - though he could not say whether Trump was
involved in those efforts.
