ukraine. we have forces in estonia, lithuania, latvia, the baltic states. the u.s. has announced it will send more troops to poland to make clear to ththrussians that united states, nato, the alliance, everyone is prepared to defend every inch of its territory. we still have forces in afghanistan and 20,000 troops under nato command have been there 2004. we have forces in the balkansyi who are to maintain the peace that was established after the interventions by nato at the end of the last century. we are around everywhe. ignores the reality that nato is very much alive in many parts of nada: despite troops on the ground, though, this does show, these comments, that there is is withdrawing from thea international stage. do you think it is time for europe to worry about putting more resources into their own security?he ivo: clearlynited states under president trump has not waled the alliance the sam his predecessors have. in fact, the president has denigrated the allnce and s called into question even america's commitment to the defense of europe. i think we are seeing president macron and others reacting to it. th

ukraine. we also know she traveled with the vice president to warsaw, poland where

knew about the policy as it is separate from national policy on ukraine between the time of that call and his meeting with zelensky in poland. we learned it was on the sidelines of that meeting that he told ukrainians why this aide was being held up. williams might be able to provide those answers. >> all right, a number of other -- let's talk about john bolten f bolton for a second. obviously he didn't show up, what do we know about bolton appearing and what do democrats hope to get if they get a chance to talk to john bolton. >> there has been a ton of back and forth about how about under what conditions he will appear, but it sounds like regardless of any other factors, he will be waiting to see the outcome of this court case that may not be decided until mid december nap is too late for democrats, the democrats said they don't want to be bogged down in court hearings. they don't want to play rope-a-dope. so it looks like they may set bolton aside here. several other witnesses described his comments and state of mind. he is useful, he is as close as you can get without being the president, and having him show up in a pub

poland to meet with president zelensky on september 1st. at the meeting which i attended, president zelensky asked the vice president about news articles reporting a hold on u.s. security assistance for ukraine. the vice president responded that ukraine had the united states's unwavering support and promised to relay their conversation to president trump that night. during the september 1st meeting, neither the vice president nor president zelensky mentioned the specific investigations discussed during the july 25th phone call. thank you, again, for the opportunity to provide this statement. i would be happy to answer any questions. >> thank you for the opportunity to address the house committee with respect to issues relating to ukraine. i've dedicated my entire professional life to the united states of america. for more than two decades, it has been my honor to serve as an officer in the united states army. i served multiple overseas tours and i was deployed to iraq for combat operations. since 2008, i have been an officer specializing in european and eurasian affairs. i served in ukraine and russia. in washington, d.c., i was the political military affairs officer for russia for the chair

greenland thing and canceled his planned visit to denmark and poland, he sent the vice president, mike pence, in his place. pence met with ukraine's president in warsaw on september 1st, and the u.n. ambassador gordon sondland talked privately to a ukrainian aide right after that meeting telling him that ukraine wouldn't get $400 million in money, military aid, until they ponied up and announced that the investigation of the bidens that the president wanted. well, that's a bombshell sondland dropped when he revised his previous statement. hmm, interesting. there's more to come here from bill taylor, public testimony. one week from today, one week from today, mark your calendars on live tv, right? and if you think what we've read in the transcripts is explosive, just imagine hearing him say it for himself on live television. we know who spends hours every morning in executive time watching tv. so it is no surprise that the white house is bracing for a world of trouble from those public hearings and worrying the president will be obsessed. well, like he isn't already. >> the word impeachment, to me it's a dirty word. so they come up

ukraine based on potential investigations. ambassador gordon sondland was never alone with vice president pence on the september 1st trip to poland. this alleged discussion regarded dominic recalled by sondland never happen. multiple witnesses have testified under oath that vice president pence never raised hunter biden, former vice president joe biden, crowd strike, burisma, or investigations in any conversation with ukrainians or president zelensky before, during, or after the september 1st meeting in poland." just let that soak in, as i bring ken starr in for some analysis. sarah, you said prior to the hearing beginning yet again you described this as one of those bombshell days. you said adam schiff believes bribery has been committed, and then you asked the question, "the only question remaining is whether or not the impeachment vote will be bipartisan." how do you draw that conclusion today, can dominic ken >> this is based on what we heard this morning. the opening statement was incredibly powerful. however, now we see the other side, and one of the most effective things today, i believe, was the president just quoting wha

. >> well, we had a few stops between ukraine and poland, but yes, ambassador bolton proceeded to warsaw where we were expecting to ensure everything was staged properly for the president's arrival. >> and did you have an opportunity to brief the vice president on -- >> i did not. >> did ambassador bolton? >> he did. >> what do you remember from what ambassador bolton shared with the vice president about the zelensky meeting? >> i was not there. the issue i remember most starkly was ambassador was quite annoyed that ambassador sondland crashed the pre-brief, but the ambassador had everything he needed to ensure that either the president or the vice president were well prepared. >> but did you brief ambassador bolton before he had an opportunity to meet with the vice president? i didn't need to. >> ambassador bolton was there. >> as far as you know ambassador bolton communicated that the goings on were positive? >> at this time, ambassador bolton was advocating for the lifting of the aid? >> he had been for some time, yes. and did you participate in the warsaw meetings? >> we had a reduce

. >> i remember being in poland with vice president pence while he was sitting there with president zelensky of ukraine and he's delivering this message about corruption to the ukrainian president. even the vice president, the secretary of state find themselves entangled in this controversy, this impeachment inquiry at different levels, and the answer to all this is so many people who succeed in president trump's inner circle, they accept the culture, the transaction the nature, the way of accepting his behavior and conduct. once you do that, some things fester on the sides like rudy giuliani's rogue foreign policy conduct. and because of that acceptance and that culture, so many people like the secretary of state and the vice president find themselves facing really tough questions about what they knew and what they did. >> barb, remember the republican flash mob in the hearing room where these depositions were being taken behind closed doors. they demanded the proceedings be opened even though they were part of the proceedings all the while. they demanded transparency. this is what transparency looks
