She testified to investigators earlier this month, and a transcript of her testimony was released Saturday. Trump on the call with Zelensky pushed for Ukraine’s new president to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden and his son. At the time, the White House was withholding military aid to the country. Williams testified that Trump’s discussion of a specific investigation with Zelensky seemed “unusual” to her because it was “more political in nature.” She said the requests seemed tied to Trump’s “personal political agenda” as opposed to “a broader foreign policy objective of the United States.” Read Jennifer Williams’ full testimony.
