Sondland Testified Trump Demanded Quid Pro Quo Last Week

October 26, 2019 at 8:47 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 11 Comments

Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, told House committees last week that efforts by President Trump and his allies to press Kyiv to open investigations in exchange for a White House meeting with Ukraine’s president amounted to a quid pro quo, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Trump has denied that his decision to hold up aid was related to his push for investigations, repeatedly declaring there was “no quid pro quo.” Asked by a lawmaker whether that arrangement was a quid pro quo, Sondland cautioned that he wasn’t a lawyer but said he believed the answer was yes.

"See? No quid pro quo! There might be some running around the White House, left over from the Kenyan family, but I don't have any quid pro quo at all! It's terrible! Everybody gets one but the President. I've asked my Senate Republicans to look into it."
