Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, who heard President Trump’s July phone call with Ukraine’s president and was alarmed, testified that he tried and failed to add key details to the rough transcript.

In closed-door testimony, William B. Taylor Jr., implicated President Trump personally in an effort to withhold security aid until Ukraine’s leader agreed to publicly announce investigations of his rivals.

Thomas P. Bossert, President Trump’s first homeland security adviser, said he was “deeply disturbed” that Mr. Trump had urged Ukraine to investigate Democrats.

Advisers to the former vice president wrote to executives at ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Fox News to “demand” that Mr. Giuliani not be invited on the air to discuss Ukraine and President Trump.

Marie Yovanovitch was forced out as ambassador after Trump allies called her disloyal. Others say she fell victim to the president’s efforts to hurt Joe Biden.

The revelation came as leading congressional Democrats demanded that the administration turn over documentation about the matter and calls for impeachment grew.
