The impeachment inquiry into Trump’s presidency continues with new developments. While left-leaning articles give an overview of the release of new testimonies on Monday, right-leaning articles report on witnesses requested by House Republicans for upcoming public testimonies.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post reports that Trump’s recent public appearances are often greeted with cheers and boos, acting as referendums on his presidency in light of the ongoing impeachment inquiry. Another left-leaning article by The Washington Post provides a new timeline of the impeachment inquiry, in addition to highlighting the release of testimonies of three Trump administration officials on Monday, including those of Laura Cooper, a senior defense official, and State Department Ukraine specialists Catherine Croft and Christopher Anderson.
A centrist-leaning article by Reuters focuses on Cooper’s closed-door testimony, where she described the approval process for the security aid reserved for Ukraine, which included determination from the Pentagon that Kiev had met anti-corruption requirements. According to the transcript, Cooper said that the U.S. military was concerned that denying U.S. assistance would make it more difficult for Kiev to negotiate a peace with Moscow.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that over the weekend, House Republicans submitted a list of witnesses they want to call for the upcoming public testimony for Trump’s impeachment inquiry. Amongst these witnesses includes former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and his former business partner Devon Archer. However, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff denied the request to have the anonymous whistleblower who initially complained about Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian President testify.
