This article was co-published with Portland Monthly.

Three women say they faced sexual misconduct by Gordon Sondland before he was the U.S. ambassador to the European Union and at the center of the presidential impeachment inquiry. They say he retaliated against them professionally after they rejected his advances.

In one case, a potential business partner recalls that Sondland took her to tour a room in a hotel he owns, only to then grab her face and try to kiss her. After she rejected him, Sondland backtracked on investing in her business.

Another woman, a work associate at the time, says Sondland exposed himself to her during a business interaction. She also recalls falling over the back of a couch trying to get away from him. After she made her lack of interest clear, she says Sondland called her, screaming about her job performance.

A third woman, 27 years Sondland’s junior, met him to discuss a potential job. She says he pushed himself against her and kissed her. She shoved him away. She says his job help stopped...

1. His wife was already mad at him for perjuring himself, I

imagine this will be the last straw for the POS .

8. I wondered about him when I discovered that the wife has not joined him in Europe

Looks the part

9. She will never get back with him now. Good.

18. Nice acting by his wife

Pretending to be outraged, but having known all along since before she married him........Politicians wives, Executives wives, rich guy's wives, arm candy wives, they all know what their men are going to do, and these women all know that they want a powerful, famous rich lifestyle and that their husbands fucking around is a small price to pay.....I would imagine that they are happy that their men's attention is focused on other women, that way they don't have to be bothered by the guys.......

These women are no less whores than the meth head crack whores in the worst parts of major cities........

Of course, the rich men can always travel to Europe, and get a high priced escort pretending she is a fashion model, and bring her back to the U.S. and marry her. Not mentioning anyone in particular.......

20. "Family man, art collector with the wife, blah, blah, blah.."

10. We've seen, with the sad exception of Gen. Mattis, and perhaps

a few much less known patriots, that people of even sorta adequate character have refused to join this administration. It's been fascinating to see how bad, dishonorable, corrupt people, and notably criminal personality types!, are drawn to each other. Typically they've flown mostly under the radar, maintaining public personae of respectability.

13. Timely! I wonder if this was a planted story as payback for the testimony he recently gave?

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have much trouble believing it, as I think Sondland would be the type to take advantage of a situation, but it would be interesting to learn where this information came from.

These types have real problems with "No!"

[Sienna86]

14. Everything Trump touches dies

I attribute this to the author of the book.

[Mc Mike]
