“There was nothing new yesterday,” Conway told CNN Thursday morning.

Taylor testified that Sondland said Trump "cares more about the investigations of Biden" than Ukraine.

The information in Taylor's testimony had not been known prior to Wednesday.

“You're calling that evidence? Respectfully, in a real court of law, we would not be referring to something as evidence. That is, somebody on my staff recalled overhearing a conversation between someone else and the president where they think they heard the president use the word 'investigations,' ” Conway said.

“This is not what due process and the rule of law and our great democracy allows,” she added.

Conway also told CNN the president reacted “pretty well” to the hearing.

Taylor testified alongside George Kent, deputy assistant secretary of State, in the first public hearing of the impeachment inquiry into Trump.
