5:51Now PlayingQuestions from top committee Republican Devin Nunes and GOP staff sought to show that Trump had reason to be suspicious of Ukrainian officials and that the Democrats’ allegations against the president amounted to a disagreement over foreign policy. #ImpeachmentHearings
A key part of the Republican defense is that Trump had legitimate reasons to seek investigations by Ukraine to pursue U.S. interests and not simply his personal political interests.
GOP staff lawyer Steve Castor suggested there were “elements of the Ukrainian establishment that were out to get the president,” as shown by those officials’ actions favoring Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign.
Castor also asked Taylor and Kent whether Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, was qualified to serve on the board of Burisma Holdings. Both said they didn’t have information about his qualifications.
Kent said he reported his concern to Vice President Biden’s office that Hunter Biden’s role in Burisma created the possibility of a “perception of a conflict of interest.”
