William Taylor, the acting U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, testified today before the House Intelligence Committee,
despite State Department objections.

I present a link to the ambassador's opening statement, without any further comment.

"I was told x.  I was alarmed when I heard it.  I was understood it to mean y.  Blah blah blah"

Ambassador, do u have any evidence that the Ukrainians actually KNEW the side was being withheld?  

"No I have no direct knowledge"

A witness may testify about what he did and said and what others did.
Testifying about what others said is not allowed, unless the speech itself would be a crime.
Speculating about the state of mind that others are in is definitely not allowed.
Also, if a completed action is a crime, usually the attempted action is also a crime. So it's interesting if the Ukraine did not know, but not exonerating.
