Hill: I went back up and relayed to Bolton, very specific instruction to talk to Eisenberg.
Hill: said we shouldn't talk abt it in front of colleagues, asked Ukrainians to leave room. Differences on when we have meeting, after Rada elections, Bolton would like to wait.
Hill: By this time it was clear Burisma was code for Bidens. Vindman said this is inappropriate we're NSC. Vindman had already warned to stay out of domestic politics. Hill, we can't set up meeting right now. This sounds very boring, NatSec procedures,
Hill: Sondland to Vindman: we have an agreement on meeting. Perry had left. He was not in Ward Room. Perry has no recollection bc he was not in it. Sondland said we have a meeting, a deal here w/Mulvaney, if Ukrainians announce investigations into 2016 and Burisma.
Hill: We don't normally huddle with next steps. Amb BOlton wasn't prepared to schedule meeting. As I came in, Vindman, Sondland in exchange. Vindman looked alarmed. Sondland asked--I watched carefully--I certainly never said yelling and shouting. Media embellishment.
Hill: he told me to hold back in the room. Escorting out. They wanted a quick photo. Perry and others have tweeted out, standing outside Bolton's. He came back in. They were already moving down to Ward Room. Sondland said let's regroup for huddle of next steps.
