Top White House aides call Trump's call with Ukraine's president ‘improper’ and ‘unusual’


WASHINGTON (AP): One top national security aide who listened to President Donald Trump’s July call with Ukraine’s president called it "improper.” Another said it was "unusual.” The two testified Tuesday (Nov 18) at House impeachment hearings, as the inquiry reached deeper into the White House.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, an Army officer at the National Security Council, and Jennifer Williams, his counterpart at Vice President Mike Pence’s office, said they had concerns as Trump spoke on July 25 with the newly-elected Ukraine president about political investigations into Democrat Joe Biden.
