Read Gordon Sondland's Explosive Impeachment Testimony
In explosive written testimony, European Union ambassador Gordon Sondland told House impeachment investigators that he was just following orders when he pressured Ukraine to investigate the Bidens and the Crowdstrike conspiracy in exchange for the release of hundreds of millions in U.S. funding for Ukraine’s defense.
In his testimony, Sondland insists he was acting at the direction of the president of the United States:
Trump Made Me Do It:
Secretary Perry, Ambassador Volker and I worked with Mr. Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine matters at the express direction of the president of the United States. We did not want to work with Mr. Giuliani. Simply put, we played the hand we were dealt. We all understood that if we refused to work with Mr. Giuliani, we would lose an important opportunity to cement relations between the United States and Ukraine. So we followed the president’s orders….
As a presidential appointee, I followed the directions of the president. We worked with Mr. Giuliani because the president directed us to do so.
