A British-born U.S. national security expert took center stage in the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee impeachment hearing on Thursday.
Fiona Hill resigned in July after 2 -1/2 years as the White House’s top expert on Russia and Europe.
Hill, 54, has decades of expertise on Russia and Europe. She was an intelligence analyst under Republican President George W. Bush and Democrat Barack Obama from 2006 to 2009, and joined the Trump administration in 2017.
On Thursday, she urged lawmakers not to promote “politically driven falsehoods” that cast doubt on Russia’s election interference, saying: “We must not let domestic politics stop us from defending ourselves against the foreign powers who truly wish us harm.”
