Sondland’s bombshell testimony blows holes in Trump’s Ukraine defence
- Ambassador to EU testifies as House impeachment hearing
- Sondland: ‘We followed the president’s orders’
A star witness at the impeachment inquiry has delivered a devastating blow to Donald Trump, testifying about the existence of a quid pro quo with Ukraine and insisting: “We followed the president’s orders.”
Gordon Sondland, the US ambassador to the European Union, stunned Washington with bombshell evidence that blew a hole in the White House’s defences, implicated numerous senior officials and left the US president facing probable impeachment.
