Dr. Fiona Hill, a former adviser with the National Security Council, testified Thursday as part of the impeachment inquiry that Republicans are propagating the idea of Ukrainian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, which she claimed is a "Fictional narrative."
In a lengthy piece in January 2017 titled, "Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire," Politico chronicled the dealings of Democratic National Committee operative Alexandra Chalupa who worked with officials from Ukraine to hurt the Trump campaign.
Despite these reports, the former top Russia expert for the White House testified on Thursday before the House Intelligence Committee, "Based on questions and statements I have heard, some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country - and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did."
NEW: Dr. Fiona Hill, ex-top Trump Russia adviser, calls out Republicans on House committee for spreading discredited Russian conspiracies.
"She added,"And as I told this Committee last month, I refuse to be part of an effort to legitimize an alternate narrative that the Ukrainian government is a U.S. adversary and that Ukraine - not Russia - attacked us in 2016.
House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes has been one of the members of the Intelligence Committee who has raised the issue of Ukrainian interference in 2016 multiple times.
In remarks on Thursday, he said, "President Trump had good reason to be wary of Ukrainian election meddling against his campaign and of widespread corruption in that country."
