1:24Now PlayingU.S. and Ukraine relations go further back than the now-infamous phone call between President Trump and President Zelensky. We take a look at why the U.S. and Ukraine are so dependent on one another.
WASHINGTON – The White House's top expert on Ukraine twice notified superiors about concerns that the president and those working for him were linking foreign aid to Ukraine with investigations that would help President Donald Trump politically, a push that he said could undermine U.S. national security, according to an opening statement obtained by USA TODAY.
The testimony of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman before the House Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and Oversight committees Tuesday will mark the first time lawmakers investigating the impeachment inquiry will hear from someone who listened to Trump's July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — the call at the center of the impeachment investigation that included a Trump's request that Ukraine investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.
"I was concerned by the call," Vindman wrote in the opening statement. "I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the U.S. government’s support of Ukraine."
