Hill: "Burisma was code for the Bidens"

National Security Council expert Fiona Hill testified Thursday that Ambassador Gordon Sondland's reference to an investigation into Burisma, the gas company Hunter Biden once sat on the board of, clearly meant an investigation into the Bidens. Hill said Sondland told her there was a deal in the works for a meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky that was contingent on a Ukrainian investigation into Burisma. "I cut it off immediately there," Hill testified. "Becuase at this point, having heard Mr. Giuliani over and over again on the television, and all of the issues that he was asserting, at this point it was clear that Burisma was code for the Bidens."
