Tim Morrison, a top Russia and Europe adviser on President Trumps National Security Council, is expected to testify before House impeachment investigators next week and corroborate key elements of a top U.S. diplomats account that Trump was pressing for Ukraine to publicly announce investigations into the Bidens before he would greenlight US security assistance, CNN reports.
Morrisons testimony is expected to be significant because he is a current White House official whose name was cited 15 times in Bill Taylors opening statement.
