24:22Now PlayingTrump's first impeachment - 2020
Kurt Volker, the former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine, told House lawmakers on Nov.19 that he saw a distinction between investigating the Ukrainian energy company Burisma and former Vice President Joe Biden, whose son, Hunter, sat on Burisma's board.

I saw them as very different.” The impeachment inquiry has focused on a July 25 phone call in which Trump asked the president of Ukraine to investigate former vice president and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
