A handful of senators reached out to the White House to warn the president not to dismiss Gordon D. Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union who testified in the House hearings. But Mr. Trump went ahead anyway.

The impeachment inquiry is in some ways the culmination of a battle between the president and the government institutions he distrusted and disparaged.

The whistle-blower wrote a memo describing an official who heard the call as “visibly shaken” by it.

The whistle-blower’s complaint accused President Trump of trying to compel Ukraine’s leader to help investigate a 2020 rival, and the White House of attempting to “lock down” records of the call.

The complaint, from a member of the intelligence community, remained opaque but involved at least one of the president’s communications with a foreign leader.
