David Holmes, a career diplomat, told lawmakers Friday that he overheard a phone call in Kyiv between President Trump and Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, during which Trump pressed for updates on the Ukrainians’ willingness to conduct an “investigation,” a day after Trump had asked Ukraine’s president to launch a probe into former vice president Joe Biden and his son.

Details of the July 26 conversation were disclosed by Holmes in his opening statement to impeachment investigators, which was obtained by CNN.

Holmes said at the conclusion of the call, Sondland told him and other aides present that Trump does not “give a s--t” about Ukraine and was primarily interested in the “Biden investigation” that was being pushed by Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Guiliani.

Holmes, the counselor for political affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, was with Sondland at a restaurant in Kyiv on July 26 when the ambassador called Trump to update him on the status of his meetings with Ukrainian officials in Kyiv, including with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
