DEVELOPING: Bill Taylor, the top US diplomat in Ukraine who texted 'I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign,' has arrived for his testimony on Capitol Hill today.
As part of text messages between Taylor, U.S. ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, and the now-former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, Taylor expressed concern about why U.S. military assistance for Ukraine was held up by the White House.
"As I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign," Taylor texted Sondland on Sept. 9, according to text messages provided to Congress by Volker and released by the committees involved in the inquiry.
Taylor came out of retirement in June to serve as chargé d'affaires in Kyiv after Marie Yovanovitch was abruptly recalled from her post as ambassador to Ukraine in the spring. Yovanovitch, Sondland and Volker are among the key witnesses who have already testified in the impeachment inquiry.that lasted more than 9 hours that Trump had personally pressured the State Department to remove her, even though a top department official assured her that she had"done nothing wrong."
