BREAKING: Gordon Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union, plans to break sharply from President Trump, telling House impeachment investigators that he opposed the president’s request to run Ukraine policy through his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani
Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, broke sharply with President Donald Trump on Thursday, telling House impeachment investigators that he opposed the president’s request to run Ukraine policy through his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
He also said military assistance to Ukraine “should not have been delayed for any reason” — a rebuke of the president’s decision to put a hold on those funds in August — but added that Trump repeatedly told him there was “no quid pro quo” involving the aid or the investigation of Trump’s political rivals.
“It was apparent to all of us that the key to changing the president’s mind on Ukraine was Mr. Giuliani,” Sondland said. Sondland’s attorneys in a letter to House investigators say he has ample documentation to back up his testimony but that the White House and State Department are blocking him from sharing it, claiming it could implicate executive privilege and other confidentiality restrictions.
