Former U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker provided testimony to the House Intelligence Committee on Oct. 3, during which he contradicted several of the claims made in a whistleblower complaint at the center of the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.
Volker told lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee on Oct. 3 that he didn’t partake in urging Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. The testimony directly contradicted a hearsay claim in the anonymous whistleblower’s complaint, which suggested that Volker and the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, engaged with Ukrainian officials to help them handle Trump’s request to investigate Biden.
