Several Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee chose not to ask National Security Council expert Fiona Hill any questions, instead using their time to speak at length about their view of the impeachment proceedings. "Could I actually say something?" Hill said after Rep. Brad Wenstrup finished speaking.

National Security Council expert Fiona Hill explained during her testimony on Thursday why the conspiracy theory that Ukraine, not Russia, was responsible for the 2016 U.S. election interference is false.
