Article snippet: Trump called on Republicans to fight tougher in the impeachment inquiry. The president's tweet came as some of his Republican allies in the House had stormed a closed-door hearing to protest what they argued has been a lack of transparency in the Democrats' impeachment inquiry process. The furor broke up the deposition of a top Defense Department official who was testifying about Trump's dealings with Ukraine. The fracas also follows testimony from Taylor, who told committees just one day ago that Trump withheld military aid to Ukraine to pressure the country to conduct a pair of investigations — one into 2016 election hacking, the other into the family of former Vice President MORE — that might have helped Trump's reelection campaign next year. Democrats viewed Taylor's testimony as particularly damaging for the president, who has repeatedly denied a quid pro quo or any inappropriate interactions with the Ukrainians.
