And here is the republican reaction following yesterdays deposition. >> throughout this entire impeachment hearing the democrats have been suggesting that there are some nefarious purposes as it relates to the hold on aid and yet we heard today behind closed doors in general terms that the assumptions that democrats have made and certainly the allegations that they have made have not been supported by the witness testimony here today and certainly have not been supported by the reasons for that ...
