IT'S TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15TH.
IT WILL BE IN THE LOVELY TOWN OF
WESTERVILLE, OHIO.
A NEW DEVELOPMENT NOW IN THE
UKRAINE CONTROVERSY.
FOX NEWS HAS OBTAINED NEVER
BEFORE SEEN TEXT MESSAGES
BETWEEN U.S. DIPLOMATS
ALLUDING TO THAT WITHHELD
MILITARY AID.
AND WE ARE SEEING REACTION COME
IN TO THE FORMER UKRAINE ENVOYS
APPARENTLY P WHICH ARE
DUE JIM JORDAN MONTHS AGO, AND
THERE IS MORE.
TWO CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPOND
MIKE EMANUEL IS LIFE WITH
DETAILS.
IS THE INTERVIEW STILL HAPPENING
WITH THE INVESTOR?
>> YES, GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU.
WE HAVE WOULDN'T AND DON'T LIKE
OBTAINED INK OF THE TEXT
MESSAGES THAT INVOLVE SOME OF
THE KEY PLAYERS ON THE CANE.
ONE OF THEM BEING KURT VOLKER,
WAS AT THE TIME THE U.S. SPECIAL
ENVOY TO UKRAINE.
WILLIAM TAYLOR, TEMPORARY
AMBASSADOR FOR THE U.S. AND
UKRAINE, AND THE UNITED STATES
AMBASSADOR TO THE
EUROPEAN UNION.
THE EXCHANGE STARTED ON
SEPTEMBER 9TH, WHEN MICHAEL
ATKINSON REVEALED THE EXISTENCE
OF WHISTLE-BLOWER RELATED TO
UKRAINE.
IT SHOWS TAYLOR EXPRESSING
CONCERN TO HIS COLLEAGUES.
BILL TAYLOR: "AS I SIT ON THE
PHONE, I THINK IT'S CRAZY TO
WITHHOLD SECURITY ASSISTANCE FOR
HELP WITH A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN."
GORDON: "I BELIEVE YOU ARE
INCORRECT ABOUT
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S INTENTIONS
PAID THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN
CRYSTAL CLEAR, NO QUID PRO QUOS
OF ANY KIND.
THE PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO
EVALUATE WHETHER UKRAINE IS
TRULY GOING TO ADOPT THE
TRANSPARENCY AND REFORMS THAT
PRESIDENT ZELENSKY PROMISE
DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
I SUGGEST WE STOP THE BACK AND
FORTH BY TEXT."
THEN THE DISCUSSION WAS TAKEN
OFF-LINE, AND LAWMAKERS ARE
LIKELY LEARNING MORE ABOUT THIS
EXCHANGE RIGHT NOW WITH VOLKER
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS HERE ON
CAPITOL HILL.
THERE'S ALSO A REFERENCE TO
CONCERNS ABOUT AN INTERVIEW
BEING GIVEN, BUT THE CONTEXT OF
THAT IS UNCLEAR.
BILL TAYLOR: "THE NIGHTMARE IS
THEY GIVE US THE INTERVIEW I
DON'T GIVE A SECURITY CLEARANCE.
THE RUSSIANS LOVE IT, AND I
QUIT.
COUNTING ON YOU TO BE RIGHT
ABOUT THIS INTERVIEW, GORDON."
GORDON: "I NEVER SAID I WAS
RIGHT, I SAID I DON'T LIKE WE
ARE WHERE YOU ARE AND BELIEVE
YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED THE BEST
PATHWAY FORWARD.
LET'S HOPE IT WORKS."
WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO ALL THREE
PLAYERS.
VOLKER STILL BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
ON CAPITOL HILL, AND WE WILL
UPDATE THIS BREAKING STORY
