House Republican Memo Lays Out Defense Plan Against Impeachment

The transcript discusses a Republican memo outlining a defense strategy for President Trump during the impeachment inquiry. The memo highlights four main points: no conditionality in Trump's call with Zelinsky, both presidents denying pressure, Zelinsky's unawareness of aid hold, and the lifting of the hold. The memo argues these points counter the Democrat narrative of Trump leveraging aid for political investigations. However, testimonies like Bill Taylor's contradict the memo, suggesting aid was contingent on investigations, which Democrats argue is an abuse of power.

According to the memo, how do the four key points undercut the Democrat impeachment narrative?
