House investigators released the deposition transcript for Bill Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine. “The deposition
transcript from Bill Taylor shows Tailor understood security assistance was
being withheld to pressure Ukraine to publicly announce an investigation into
President Trump’s political opponents. Taylor testified his nightmare scenario was
that the Ukraine leader would announce investigations, take all the heat from
that, get himself in big trouble and never get U.S. security assistance, adding
Russia would love that. Taylor will be back to testify publicly on November
13th. __ __, ABC News on Capitol Hill.”

Facebook is under investigation for alleged privacy violations and that
Facebook is ignoring subpoenas for information. ‘Facebook has failed to respond
adequately to those lawfully issued subpoenas.’ In the statement, though,
Facebook claims it has cooperated extensively with California’s investigation
and says it has provided hundreds of thousands of documents. I’m Alex Stone, ABC News.”
