File photo:Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union speaks with the White House Press Corps on Air Force One with Maros Sefcovic, Vice President of the European Commission for the Energy Union during a trip with U.S. President Donald Trump through Louisiana, U.S.
The U.S. ambassador to the European Union plans to tell the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry that President Donald Trump told him multiple times that there was no “quid pro quo” with Ukraine.
According to prepared testimony, Ambassador Gordon Sondland also plans to tell three Democratic-led House committees that “inviting a foreign government to undertake investigations for the purpose of influencing an upcoming U.S. election would be wrong.”
He also plans to tell the panel that he was not on the July 25 call between Trump and the president of Ukraine and did not know that Trump brought up former Vice President Joe Biden, one of Trump’s potential rivals in 2020 elections.
