The Trump Ukraine scandal — about to enter its fourth week — saw a number of outstanding if relatively minor questions answered over the weekend, all while President Trump worked to further define his strategy to counter Democrats’ impeachment inquiry against him.

Much of Mr. Trump’s public response, and the defense from his surrogates, has focused on the process of impeachment rather than the actual facts of the…

Congress is back — meaning Senate Republicans are going to have to start answering pointed questions about where they stand on impeachment. While it’s pretty unlikely enough Republican senators will actually vote to convict President Donald Trump if articles of impeachment are brought against him, members who represent swing states, such as Susan Collins, might feel pressure to defect due to pushback from their constituents. Others, like Mitt Romney, have…
