the chairs leading the inquiry say the july 25th phone call immediately set off alarm bells throughout the white house. williams told investigators that the call was, quote, unusual and inappropriate. and that it shed light on possible other motivations behind a hold on security assistance. meanwhile, tim morrison testified he suggested to lawyers, quote, we restrict access to the package referring to the transcript of the call. however, he did not believe anything inappropriate took place on the call. morrison's testimony also tying a keogh physician more closely to trump on ukraine. telling investigators that gordon sondland said he believed he was acting at president trump's direction when urging ukraine to announce political investigations. after sondland spoke to a top ukrainian aide, told me in what he communicated was that he believed he could help them move the aid if it was prosecutor general is -- announced that he was opening the buries ma investigation. accusing democrats of changing the rules in the process. >> everything that's coming out are selective leaks against this president. we do

the reason why he is significant is he raised alarm bells twice, once during a july 10 meeting between ukrainian officials at the white house and white house officials including gordon sondland. this all has to do with the alleged bribery or alleged quid pro quo where president trump has been -- the people around him have been demanding investigations, for ukraine to carry out investigations into the bidens in order to secure that $400 million of security aid. he will be critical, he will be able to speak directly to what it was like, what he interpreted on that july 25 phone call between trump and zelensky. host: talk about the pairing. at 9:00, it is he and jennifer williams, aide to vice president mike pence. why that pairing in the morning and then the second pairing of kurt volker and tim morrison? scott: republicans have had a chance to submit their list of the initiald witnesses will be democratic witnesses. the second group with volcker and tim morrison will be republican called. the reason republicans want to call these individuals is because they want to ask them, was there anything illegal on this phone call that
