Big change from Volker's first testimony to his opening statement today. Left: he says "no" when asked categorically whether investigations were brought up in July 10 meeting Right: He says Sondland did bring up investigations, and he found it "inappropriate"

Volker also says he did not understand until recently that “Burisma” was linked to investigations of the Bidens—despite discussing with Giuliani on July 19 the possibility that Joe Biden might have been influenced as VP by Hunter's role in Burisma. https://t.co/D25F7dlJMz pic.twitter.com/48iUORC6bk

Volker also claims, “I did not know about the strong concerns expressed by" Bolton "regarding the discussion of investigations”

But he acknowledges participating in the 7/10 meeting, which Bolton angrily cut short when Sondland mentioned investigations, per multiple witnesses. pic.twitter.com/XqyyKcw93R
