Washington • They have heard the measured testimony of career diplomats and the mind-boggling account of a first-time ambassador who declared he was in charge of President Donald Trump’s Ukraine policy.

Hill, who speaks rapid-fire and in the distinctive accent of the coal country of northeastern England where she grew up, is testifying Thursday about what she witnessed inside the White House as two men — Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland and Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani — carried out foreign policy for an unconventional president.
