House Democrats released a transcript of their interview with George Kent, the deputy assistant secretary in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, in connection with the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) tweeted about the release of Kent’s transcript: “Here’s why George Kent matters: He and his colleagues recognized the impropriety of Trump’s Ukraine pressure campaign to undertake politically-motivated investigations. He corroborates testimony from numerous other officials, and he documented it.”
