And now the acting Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire, has testified before two Congressional committees, defending his handling of the whistleblower complaint.

The White House released an account of a phone call between President Trump and the leader of Ukraine in which President Trump asked the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, to do him a "favor" and "look into" the involvement of Joe Biden and his son in the Ukrainian private sector.

Democrats say they don't need a "quid pro quo" to make a case for an abuse of Presidential power.
