Impeachment

The impeachment obviously draw a lot of media attention now, so I read the article about it for my vocabulary building.
I got stuck on this sentence, which is "Democrats rest their case on the testimony of the witnesses who described, in the Democrats’ view, a scheme by the president to withhold vital military aid from Ukraine unless they announced an investigation of Joe Biden."

One thing that I was stuck is that it seems something is missing after "described."
If it followed by it as: " who described it, in the Democrats’ view, as a scheme", it makes sense to me.

But, I know this is a natural English expression, so I have to get used to it.

I got stuck on this sentence, which isreads, "Democrats rest their case on the testimony of the witnesses who described, in the Democrats’ view, a scheme by the president to withhold vital military aid from Ukraine unless they announced an investigation of Joe Biden." One thing that I wasgot stuck on is that it seems something is missing after "described." If it followed by it aswere to be written in the following manner, it would make sense to me: " who described it, in the Democrats’ view, as a scheme", it makes sense to me."

In this case, without the part offset by commas, the sentence reads "Democrats rest their case on the testimony of the witnesses who described a scheme...". In this case, "described" means "explained".

"about it for my vocabulary building" は正しいが少し不自然です。...so I read the article to build my vocabulary の方がいいかもしれません。

try ignoring the "in the Democrats’ view" part. --> Democrats rest their case on the testimony of the witnesses who described a scheme (Rubyさんが書いたit はa schemeになります) by the president to withhold vital military aid
