House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff outlined the questions at the center of the impeachment probe, then said, "The matter is as simple and as terrible as that."

Watch his opening statement.
Schiff, Republicans clash over questioning
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff set off a confrontation with Republicans at the impeachment hearings Wednesday after telling witness William Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, he should be "cautioned" about questions based on "facts not in evidence."
Taylor: Sondland said Trump cared more about investigating Bidens
William Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, was questioned by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff on Wednesday. Taylor said the U.S. ambassador to the E.U. told a member of his staff that President Trump cared more about Ukraine pursuing investigations regarding the Bidens and Burisma than he cared about U.S. interests in the country. Watch a portion of their exchange.
Yovanovitch: "This is about far more than me"
"This is about far more than me or a couple of individuals. As foreign service professionals are being denigrated and undermined, the institution is also being degraded," former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch said during the second day of public hearings in the House impeachment inquiry.
Schiff: Ex-envoy "was considered an obstacle"
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said that getting rid of U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch "helped set the stage for an irregular channel that could pursue the two investigations that mattered so much to the president" and that "she was considered an obstacle to the furtherance of the president's personal and political agenda."
Ex-envoy: I had no agenda other than our goals
In her opening statement during the second day of public hearings in the House impeachment inquiry, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch said she was coming before lawmakers as an American citizen who has devoted most of her life to serving the country and said her service "is an expression of gratitude for all that this country has given my family and me."
Devin Nunes slams the media
California Congressman Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said little about Tuesday's witnesses in his opening statement, and instead began by criticizing the media and its coverage of last week's hearings. Nunes compared media coverage of the impeachment inquiry to coverage of the Russia investigation.
Schiff: Trump put his interests above nation's
In his opening statement Tuesday, Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff condemned President Trump, saying, "To press a foreign leader to announce an investigation into a political rival, President Trump put his own political and personal interests above the nation."
Schiff interrupts Nunes over whistleblower
Congressman Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, asked Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman on Tuesday to identify intelligence community officials with whom he discussed President Trump's July 25 call. Chairman Adam Schiff interrupted Nunes' questioning to curtail the apparent attempt to get Vindman to name the whistleblower.
Witnesses deny evidence of quid pro quo
Both Tim Morrison, the outgoing senior director of European and Russian affairs at the National Security Council, and Kurt Volker, the former special envoy to Ukraine, said they had not seen evidence of quid pro quo, bribery, or treason, in response to questions by GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
Sondland confirms Ukraine quid pro quo
"In your opening statement, you confirm that there was a quid pro quo between the White House meeting and the investigations into Burisma and the 2016 election that Giuliani was publicly promoting. Is that right?" House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff asked U.S. Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland on Wednesday. "Correct," Sondland replied.
Schiff decries smears against Yovanovitch
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff introduced the two witnesses that will testify Wednesday evening and noted that David Hale, the undersecretary of state for political affairs, was a witness to the "smear" campaign against former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. He also mentioned that Laura Cooper, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, oversaw the military assistance package to Ukraine that was delayed over the summer.
Hill: Russia tried to "delegitimize" presidency
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. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff asked Hill how the theory served Russian interests, and Hill responded: "The Russians interests are frankly to delegitimize our entire presidency."
Holmes: Ukraine felt pressure on Biden investigation
State Department official David Holmes confirmed during his testimony Thursday that Ukraine felt pressure from the Trump administration to reopen an investigation into Hunter Biden. Holmes said he believes Ukraine still wanted to appease Trump even after frozen military aid was released. "I think that continues to this day," Holmes said. "I think they're being very careful. They still need us now, going forward."
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."
