House panels leading the impeachment inquiry are set to hear Wednesday from a Pentagon official responsible for policy toward Ukraine, who is expected to testify about the delay in nearly $400 million in security assistance to the country.
Laura Cooper, deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia, will be the first Defense Department official to testify before investigators, who have largely heard from State Department officials so far in the investigation. Ms. Cooper arrived at the Capitol on Wednesday morning.
The hold on the aid to Ukraine is at the center of the House’s impeachment inquiry into whether President Trump conditioned the funding for Ukraine on his request to Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Ukraine investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, and his son, Hunter Biden, as well as alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
The White House’s hold on military aid to Ukraine this summer set off alarms at the Pentagon, according to people familiar with the matter. Ms. Cooper’s exact role in the Defense Department’s effort to push back on the hold on the money, which was ultimately released in mid-September, isn’t known.
After the White House communicated the hold to the Defense and State Departments in July, the Pentagon conducted an internal review of the legality of the hold, according to three people familiar with the matter. Pentagon officials argued that the administration couldn’t block money approved by Congress, delivering their analysis to career White House budget office officials at a July meeting, according to two of the people and another person familiar with the matter.

I hear that Joe Biden's people have infiltrated the Pentagon too. The coup is progressing on schedule.

Apparently Republicans aren't allowed into Impeachment Hearings.
Yeah, this is legit.

This is the most ridiculous propaganda yet. Every Republican on those three committees is in there hearing every word. The rest aren't allowed because they don't have clearance to hear the classified materials being discussed. The Democrats not on those committees aren't allowed in there, either, they're just nbot trying to illegally storm classified hearings for disinformational photo ops.

So we should just accept pieces of information to be disclosed that are one sided? Where there is a sign in to ensure that it is known which republicans are attending?
Its strange how so much information is released on confidential hearings. They really take this seriously you know?

45 house republicans (those belonging to the foreign affairs, intelligence and government oversight committees) have full access to the hearings being conducted
