Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Just a quick fact-check before I yield to the gentleman from Massachusetts. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle claim that no Republican witnesses were allowed to testify. That is, of course, not correct. In the Intelligence Committee, three of the Republican-requested witnesses testified; that is, one out of every four of the witnesses were Republican-requested witnesses. That they incriminated the President did not make them any less requested by the minority. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Keating).

Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Virginia (Mrs. Luria).

Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, my colleagues would have the country believe that the President held up the aid to Ukraine because he was concerned about corruption. Of course, there is not a shred of evidence for that. All of the national security experts across all the departments testified that Ukraine met the criteria to receive the aid. So what was the real motivation here? Well, one thing is telling. In 2017, the President had no problem with aid to Ukraine, raised no issue of corruption. In 2018, he had no problem with the military aid for Ukraine. So what changed in 2019? Joe Biden announced he was running for President, and all of a sudden, Donald Trump held up the aid for Ukraine. As Ambassador Sondland testified, the President didn't care about Ukraine. All he cared about was the big stuff that affected him personally, the investigation of the Bidens that Giuliani was pushing. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Virginia (Ms. Spanberger).

Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Heck).

Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin).

Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I am happy to remind my colleagues of Ambassador Sondland's testimony. He posed the question: Was there a quid pro quo? The answer is yes. When he was asked about a quid pro quo involving the military aid, he said it was as clear as two plus two equals four. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky).
