CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN ANCHOR: -- worries the Trump administration would change its foreign policy to suit domestic politics. And concern from then-national security adviser John Bolton about Rudy Giuliani's influence over Ukraine policy.</s>DAVE BRIGGS, CNN ANCHOR: Two of those officials said Ukraine was aware the aid was frozen soon after it was put on hold in July. That's earlier than previously known. Ukraine's knowledge undercuts the argument from Trump backers the aid could not have been used as leverage. We also learned military support to Ukraine had been withheld once before by then-budget director Mick Mulvaney to avoid upsetting the Russians.</s>ROMANS: As for what to expect in the next 36 hours and beyond, House Intelligence chairman Adam Schiff and Republican ranking member Devin Nunes will lead the sessions. They'll have 45 minutes each to question witnesses, with staff lawyers likely playing a big role here. All other committee members will also get five minutes each to ask their questions.</s>BRIGGS: CNN has obtained the Trump campaign's talking points ahead of the public impeachment inquiry. A source close to the campaign expects renewed attacks on the whistleblower, on House Intel chairman Adam Schiff, and former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, along with claims that the entire process is a political stunt orchestrated by Democrats. And with televised hearings about to begin, Rudy Giuliani considering launching an impeachment podcast. President Trump's personal attorney was overheard discussing the plan at a New York City restaurant and Giuliani's spokeswoman confirms it.</s>ROMANS: All right, much more on all of this head. Plus, breaking overnight, Israel takes down a senior Jihadi leader. More than 100 rockets now flying into Israel. CNN live at the Israel-Gaza border.
