In response to acting U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor’s testimony, DNC Deputy War Room Director Daniel Wessel released the following statement:

“Today, Bill Taylor – Trump’s own top diplomat to Ukraine – made it clear that Trump engaged in a quid pro quo. Republicans have no more excuses. The Trump administration chose Bill Taylor for this position. Taylor served a previous Republican president. And yet, today he testified that the president extorted a foreign country in order to sway an election. Trump must be held accountable.”
