As Congress returns from break this week, at least 2 witnesses plan revealing testimonies in off-camera depositions for House investigators.
Driving the news: On Monday, Fiona Hill, former senior director for Europe and Russia on President Trump's National Security Council, plans to testify that Rudy Giuliani and EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland circumvented normal process "to pursue a shadow policy on Ukraine," NBC News reports.
On Thursday, Sondland "intends to tell Congress this week that the content of a text message he wrote denying a quid pro quo with Ukraine was relayed to him directly by President Trump in a phone call," the WashPost's Aaron Davis and John Hudson report.
- "It’s only true that the president said it, not that it was the truth," a person familiar with Sondland’s testimony told the Post.
