David Hale, the State Department’s No. 3 official, testified in a Nov. 6 closed-door deposition that no one in the Trump administration or any "government channel" ever mentioned former Vice President Joe Biden or his son Hunter as a reason for withholding aid from Ukraine, according to a transcript of his remarks released late Monday by House Democrats in their impeachment inquiry.
Democrats have argued that the White House improperly pressured Ukraine to look into the Bidens and Burisma Holdings, the natural gas company where Hunter Biden held a lucrative role despite limited expertise while his father oversaw Ukraine policy as vice president. George Kent, a State Department official who has also testified in the impeachment investigation, said he flagged Hunter Biden's apparent conflict of interest to the Obama administration at the time.
However, Hale said, he saw the Bidens referenced only in media reports -- as well as in a "speculative" email from former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who testified last week. Hale is scheduled to testify publicly Wednesday.

More nothingburger. Democrats are putting everyone to sleep with this nonsense.
Who cares? There’s no crime and no victim. Why are we even holding impeachment hearings?
Chris Wallace pointed to this guy as the one who would provide “damaging” testimony like “all the others before him.”
Chris Wallace and Neil Cavuto can go to hell.
Foxs News most definitely taking a different look, IMO, since the clown, Paul Ryan has been on board.
Amazing, truly amazing that Trump has been able to do his job.
Now we have Pelosii, House Speaker, calling the president “An Imposter”.
And someone, who is “Way over his head.”
No dignity or proper decorum with these people. They need to be defeated. Out....completely.
It’s All Hands On Deck Time....
Yovanvitch was gone in mid May and from reading the transcript of the phone call of July 25th, it looks like Zelensky’s people wanted her gone.....Because as the transcript says...she was a Poroshenko loyalist and not loyal to Zelensky. Read the transcript....over and over...
Remember when a GOP House member yelled “ You Lied” to Obama when he was saying you could keep your doctor and HC plan? I remember it and also remember the Democrat Press making an issue of it for days on end.
Now I see what this is about. Schiffty is trying to figure out how the Bidens’ deal with Ukraine got exposed.
Schiff: the witness will answer the question about bribery.
Witness: there was no mention...
Schiff: the witness will suspend
Witness: of Bidens name
Schiff: the witness will suspend
It's not just Ryan. Check out the entire board and upper management.
“Now I see what this is about. Schiffty is trying to figure out how the Bidens’ deal with Ukraine got exposed.”
Yep. Joe30330 says there must be a leak somewhere.
So this is all about rooting out the identity of the REAL Whistleblower; the person who exposed the Bidens’ Ukraine corruption. Now it all makes sense.
Good. But the Dems will claim they mentioned Burma Shave at least 6-7 times.
