Trump attacks Pence aide who called Ukraine call 'inappropriate'
Source: The Hill
President Trump railed against Jennifer Williams, a career foreign service officer and staffer to Vice President Pence, after she told lawmakers in closed-door testimony that Trump's July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the center of the impeachment inquiry was "inappropriate."
"Tell Jennifer Williams, whoever that is, to read BOTH transcripts of the presidential calls, & see the just released ststement from Ukraine," the president tweeted Sunday afternoon. "Then she should meet with the other Never Trumpers, who I don't know & mostly never even heard of, & work out a better presidential attack!"

(115,683 posts)She heard it first-hand, and she took notes. She doesn't need to read the transcripts, although she testified that she did, because she was there.
I have no doubt that Mike Pants will have her transferred back to another assignment with the State Department and will pretend that he barely knew her.

................Trump's July 25 call is at the center of the impeachment inquiry, in which a whistleblower complaint alleges Trump asked for dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden, a 2020 presidential rival, and his son Hunter Biden. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either Biden in Ukraine.
Aide gives first details of Pence call with Zelensky
Williams testified that Trump's request for specific investigations struck her as "unusual and inappropriate" and "shed some light on possible other motivations" for Trump's decision to freeze security aid to Ukraine.

Pence's office on Sunday declined to defend Williams after Trump's Twitter attack.
"Jennifer is a State Department employee," Pence's press secretary Katie Waldman said in response to CNN's request for comment.
Like many foreign policy advisers at the White House, Williams is a State Department employee detailed to Pence's office. .............................
