Taylor pushed back against claims that the administration had acted according to standard diplomatic protocol. He told the lawmakers that Trump did, in fact, make the release of military aid to Ukraine contingent on its public avowal to investigate the Bidens and the unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that Ukraine and not Russia was behind the meddling in the 2016 election.
Taylor’s testimony was thorough and covered a number of interactions with various White House and Ukrainian officials, according to reports on his remarks. The administration’s effort was not a small one, he said, and Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani seemed committed to something hard to describe as anything other than quid pro quo. The picture he painted was clear: Trump had used his office to try to help himself win reelection.

He can walk back as much as he has time for, but only the basest will believe that what he said first has just disappeared, and didn’t really happen.
