“You said it’s wrong to investigate political opponents?” Maloney asked Sondland during his questioning.
“Yes,” he replied.
“And yet we know that’s what the president was asking for,” Maloney continued. “Who would have benefited from an investigation into the president’s political opponents?”
“Well, presumably the person who asked for the investigation,” Sondland replied.
“Who is that?” asked Maloney.
“If the president asked for the investigation, it would be he,” Sondland admitted.
