5 stunning revelations from ambassador Bill Taylor's Trump-Ukraine testimony

[UCmeNdc]

While Taylor’s opening statement provided the clearest picture yet of the president’s sleazy attempts to extort a foreign country, his subsequent testimony also outlined more damning details about Trump-era foreign policy.

1.) Trump’s insane plan to buy Greenland from Denmark actually used up a lot of National Security Council resources.

2.) Taylor described Trump’s Ukrainian policy as a “snake pit.” The ambassador testified that he was wary of taking on the job of acting ambassador to Ukraine because he feared he’d be hampered by the antics of Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and other Trump allies.

3.) Taylor and other diplomats “sat in astonishment” after hearing aid was being withheld. The Trump administration put a hold on delivering military aid to Ukraine in July, just before Trump’s now-infamous phone call with Zelensky.

4.) Taylor says that Russia is “loving” watching Ukraine twist in the wind as it gets caught up in American domestic politics.

5.) Ukraine’s finance minister told Taylor that Zelensky was concerned about doing the president’s bidding and launching his investigations.

In a talk with Ukrainian Finance Minister Sasha Danyliuk, Taylor said that he was told that Zelensky is “sensitive about Ukraine being taken seriously, not merely as an instrument in Washington domestic reelection politics.”
