House impeachment inquiry releases transcripts of OMB and Pentagon official depositions

Sandy is a career official at OMB who was part of the freezing of the $400 million in US security aid to Ukraine, before the process was taken over by a political appointee to sign the documents delaying the aid.

Reeker testified last month that he did not know about the push for Ukraine to announce investigations into President Donald Trump’s political rivals, and that top officials under Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had blocked an effort to release a statement of support for ousted US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.

The transcripts released Tuesday are the final batch of closed-door deposition interviews put out by the House Intelligence Committee? as Democrats move on to the next phase of the impeachment proceedings against Trump. The committee is preparing a report summarizing its findings from the 17 officials who testified. That report will be sent to the Judiciary Committee soon after Congress returns from its Thanksgiving recess next week.
