Something was being cooked in the Ukraine matter, according to impeachment inquiry testimony from Dr. Fiona Hill, a former official at the National Security Council specializing in Soviet, Russian and European affairs.
In a segment titled Corroborating Evidence, The Late Show host Stephen Colbert broke down her testimony. Hill indicated that during a meeting, former national security adviser John Bolton indicated that he thought Rudolph Giuliani was “a hand grenade that’s going to blow everyone up.”
“He seems more like a Molotov cocktail to me,” quipped Colbert. “Used by Russians and full of alcohol.”
Hill testified that she attended a July 11 meeting with Bolton, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, and European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondland, during which the conditions of Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelensky getting a meeting were discussed.

So reports the Washington Post, which noted Sunday night that the...

President Donald Trump lost his latest attempt to prevent the release of his tax returns to a New York grand jury.
A federal appeals court ruled that Trump’s accounting firm must comply with a subpoena, which was issued as part of a grand jury investigation spearheaded by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.
