"In fact, Ambassador Sondland said, 'everything' was dependent on such an announcement, including the security assistance," Taylor recalled.
"Ambassador Sondland told me that President Trump had told him that he wants President Zelenskyy to state publicly that Ukraine will investigate Burisma and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. election," Taylor said about a Sept. 1 phone call between them.

At first, it wasn’t obvious that anything was amiss. Kids are naturally curious about the complicated world around them, so Joanna Schroeder wasn’t surprised when her 11- and 14-year-old boys recently started asking questions about timely topics such as cultural appropriation and transgender rights.
But she sensed something off about the way they framed their questions, she says — tinged with a bias that didn’t reflect their family’s progressive values. She heard one of her sons use the word “triggered” in a sarcastic, mocking tone.

The early departure of Ty Cobb from President Trump’s legal team initially seemed like more bad news for the president’s long-troubled efforts to build a first-rate operation to go toe to toe with Robert Mueller. But that swiftly turned around with the news that Cobb will be replaced by Emmet T. Flood, a political legal star with experience handling, among other things, Bill Clinton’s impeachment.
An impressive résumé: While Trump often seems to hire people based on how they perform on television, Flood has a low media profile and an impressive legal résumé.
