Trump's former Russia adviser Fiona Hill to testify on Giuliani, Sondland, 'shadow Ukraine policy' before Congress: Reports
Donald Trump's former Russia adviser Fiona Hill is reported to have agreed to testify before three House committees on Monday, October 14, in the Democratic impeachment inquiry.
Bloomberg was among the first to report the news on Thursday morning, citing two House officials familiar with the plans.
NBC's Josh Lederman later on Thursday broke the additional news that Fiona Hill's planned testimony to Congress is expected to allege that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and EU/Ukraine Trump administration ambassador Gordon Sondland circumvented the National Security Council and standard White House protocol to run a shadow Ukraine policy.
