Trump's former top Russia adviser expected to discuss Giuliani, Ukraine in impeachment probe testimo
Fiona Hill, the White House’s former top Russia adviser, went to Capitol Hill on Monday where she was expected to tell House investigators about how the administration’s approach to Ukraine was affected by President Trump’s lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani and his efforts to have the country investigate the son of former vice president Joe Biden.
As Trump’s senior White House adviser on Russia and Europe, Hill can provide impeachment investigators with insight into how the administration’s Ukraine policy was carried out. Lawmakers are focused on whether the president abused his office by leveraging diplomatic engagement, and possibly military aid, to secure investigations that would damage the Bidens.
Hill worked closely on Ukraine matters with two diplomats who have become central to the impeachment inquiry.
One, Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, testified last week about her understanding of Giuliani’s efforts to remove her from her post. Giuliani and some of his allies in Ukraine saw Yovanovitch, a career diplomat, as a threat to their financial and political interests, she told lawmakers last week.
