having a conversation with ambassador taylor and they didn't yet know there was a hold on aid. so what you have from various people who have testified, not just during a depositions, but also during the open hearings, as well as president zelensky's office himself, they did not get the confirmation until after they read it in politico on august 29th. it's important that we get all the facts, including what president zelensky said himself. >> soy he i hear what you're sa. let's take a step back. because we know for a fact that president trump asked ukrainian president zelensky to investigate the bidens. he didn't say burisma, he said, "the bidens." he said it in the call. he said it when asked about the call in early october in front of the cameras. it is okay with you -- forget the quid pro quo part of it for a second. is it okay with you for an american president to ask a foreign country to investigate his political rivals? is that acceptable? >> so, let me answer that.
