We’re sending tonight’s newsletter a bit later than usual to give you an exclusive look at tomorrow’s testimony — the first by a White House official who heard President Trump’s call with the president of Ukraine. What happened today - In a letter to House Democrats, Speaker Nancy Pelosi [announced](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfmhXBP0TzaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMC8yOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy90cnVtcC1pbXBlYWNobWVudC1zdWJwb2VuYS1ob3VzZS5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9aW1wZWFjaG1lbnQtYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfaWJfMjAxOTEwMjk_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MTQwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzNDQzJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTgzMjAmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyVwNueXRCCgAdwZC3XUgElipSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) that the House will take its first formal vote on Thursday to “affirm” the impeachment investigation. The resolution they will vote on also outlines procedures for holding public hearings and releasing interview transcripts. - Republicans have long criticized Democrats for not formally authorizing the proceedings, using the issue to justify their lack of cooperation. Ms. Pelosi had insisted a vote was not necessary, making her announcement today a precautionary step. She said the measure would “eliminate any doubt” as to whether the White House was required to comply. - Representative Adam Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chairman leading the investigation, said that House Democrats will [not ask federal courts](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfmhXBP0TzaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMC8yOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy90cnVtcC1pbXBlYWNobWVudC1zdWJwb2VuYS1ob3VzZS5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9aW1wZWFjaG1lbnQtYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfaWJfMjAxOTEwMjk_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MTQwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzNDQzJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTgzMjAmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyVwNueXRCCgAdwZC3XUgElipSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) to compel testimony from uncooperative witnesses. Mr. Schiff said petitioning the courts would “allow the White House to engage us in a lengthy game of rope-a-dope.” - Charles Kupperman, the former deputy national security adviser, defied a House subpoena today by not showing up for scheduled testimony. The White House claims he is [immune from testifying](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfmhXBP0T3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMC8yNS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9rdXBwZXJtYW4tc3VicG9lbmEtaW1wZWFjaG1lbnQtdHJ1bXAuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPWltcGVhY2htZW50LWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X2liXzIwMTkxMDI5P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTE0MCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMzQ0MyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE4MzIwJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MlcDbnl0QgoAHcGQt11IBJYqUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), and Mr. Kupperman has filed a lawsuit seeking to clarify whether he should testify. A White House official speaks up The Times has [obtained a copy of the opening statement](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfmhXBP0T2aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMC8yOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9BbGV4YW5kZXItVmluZG1hbi10cnVtcC1pbXBlYWNobWVudC5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9aW1wZWFjaG1lbnQtYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfaWJfMjAxOTEwMjk_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MTQwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzNDQzJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTgzMjAmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyVwNueXRCCgAdwZC3XUgElipSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, plans to deliver to House impeachment investigators on Tuesday. Here are four highlights: 1. He was on the July 25 phone call. Colonel Vindman was listening in when President Trump spoke with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky — a call that kick-started the investigation. He said he was alarmed by Mr. Trump’s request that Mr. Zelensky investigate the president’s political rivals. 2. He raised concerns about Ukraine. On two occasions, Colonel Vindman went to the top lawyer at the National Security Council with concerns about the administration’s conduct with Ukraine. The first was on July 10, when he said Gordon Sondland, the ambassador to the E.U., urged Ukrainian officials to assist with the president’s political priorities. The second was after the phone call on July 25. 3. He tried to get military aid restored. In August, at the direction of his superiors at the National Security Council — including John Bolton, then the president’s national security adviser — Colonel Vindman drafted a memo to restart security aid that had been withheld from Ukraine. Mr. Trump refused to sign it. 4. His testimony is a first. Colonel Vindman is the first current National Security Council staffer to testify, defying an order from the Trump administration not to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry. He is also an active-duty military officer and received a purple heart after being injured in Iraq by a roadside bomb, which could make him a more difficult witness to rebut than his civilian counterparts. What else we’re reading - Over the weekend, John Kelly, Mr. Trump’s former chief of staff, [said that he told Mr. Trump](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfmhXBP4QXAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25leGFtaW5lci5jb20vbmV3cy93aGl0ZS1ob3VzZS9pLWZlZWwtYmFkLXRoYXQtaS1sZWZ0LWpvaG4ta2VsbHktd2FybmVkLXRydW1wLWhlLXdvdWxkLWJlLWltcGVhY2hlZD90ZT0xJm5sPWltcGVhY2htZW50LWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X2liXzIwMTkxMDI5P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTE0MCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMzQ0MyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE4MzIwJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MlcDbnl0QgoAHcGQt11IBJYqUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) that if he hired a “yes man” as a replacement, “you will be impeached.” The comment implicitly criticized Mr. Trump’s acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney. - Citing “Hamilton” and the 12th Amendment, a law professor at the University of Texas [wrote in our Opinion pages today](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfmhXBP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMC8yOC9vcGluaW9uL2ltcGVhY2htZW50LXRydW1wLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1pbXBlYWNobWVudC1icmllZmluZyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9pYl8yMDE5MTAyOT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0xNDAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTM0NDMmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xODMyMCZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTJXA255dEIKAB3BkLddSASWKlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) about the historical evidence that impeachment is not an attempt to “overturn” an election — something Mr. Trump and Republicans have claimed. - If impeachment grinds Congress to a halt, it [could further complicate](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfmhXBP0TwaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMC8yOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9pbXBlYWNobWVudC1zcGVuZGluZy1zaHV0ZG93bi5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9aW1wZWFjaG1lbnQtYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfaWJfMjAxOTEwMjk_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MTQwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzNDQzJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTgzMjAmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyVwNueXRCCgAdwZC3XUgElipSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) the already fraught process of passing spending bills and preventing another government shutdown, less than a year after the start of the last one. - The Trump campaign wants to retain supporters, and find new ones, as the president rages against impeachment.
