Mr. Sondland will most likely be the day’s most consequential witness. He had direct contact with Mr. Trump, and has already informed the committee that he told a top Ukrainian official that the country would probably have to give Mr. Trump a public pledge for investigations before it would receive frozen military aid. But he will be pressed to confirm another episode he is said to be involved in.Mr. Sondland will most likely be the day’s most consequential witness.

As the schedule stands, Ms. Hill will be the Democrats’ final public witness. From her perch inside the White House, she had a front-row seat to what she viewed as a “nightmare” situation in which private interests were put above the nation’s. She will also provide testimony that John R. Bolton, the president’s former national security adviser and her boss, was deeply alarmed, as well.As the schedule stands, Ms. Hill will be the Democrats’ final public witness.
