Megathread: Sondland testifies Trump ordered Ukraine ‘quid pro quo’ through Giuliani

Posted: 20 Nov 2019 07:58 AM PST

U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland testified Wednesday that there was a quid pro quo between Ukraine conducting politically motivated investigations and getting a meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Sondland said the connection between these two issues was widely known throughout the administration. "I know that members of this Committee have frequently framed these complicated issues in the form of a simple question: Was there a 'quid pro quo?' As I testified previously, with regard to the requested White House call and White House meeting, the answer is yes," Sondland said in his opening statement. He also said he worked with his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine issues on "the president's orders," confirming Trump's active participation in a controversy that threatens his presidency.
