Ex-White House Adviser Fiona Hill Up Next in Impeachment Inquiry 

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. Now House impeachment investigators will hear from Fiona Hill, a no-nonsense former White House adviser who was alarmed by what she saw unfolding around her. Hill, who speaks rapid-fire and in the distinctive accent of the coal country of northern England where she grew up, is expected to testify Thursday about what she witnessed inside the White House as two men — European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondland and Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani — carried out foreign policy for an unconventional president.

Barini was arrested by Department of Homeland Security agents and the NYPD on Aug. 25 and has been linked to the deaths of at least three men since July, court papers say.

Advocates and elected officials in New York City will gather at City Hall Thursday to call for a marijuana legalization bill to be passed in New York State. Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and the co-sponsor of the State Senate bill will be in attendance.
