This is AP News Minute.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged on Wednesday he was on the July phone call between President Donald Trump1 and Ukraine's President. That's at the center of the House impeachment2 inquiry3. Pompeo continued to sound a defiant4 tone and pushed back against what he said was democrats5 "bullying6 and intimidation7."

The same jury that convicted a white dallas police officer in the fatal shooting of her black neighbor returns to court this morning to consider her sentence - a penalty that could be anywhere from five years to life in prison.

And a homeless woman whose angelic singing in a Los Angeles subway was captured on video is being offered praise and help.

About $70,000 has been raised on gofundme accounts for Emily Zamourka since a Los Angeles police officer recorded her singing Puccini in a metro8 station last week.
