Last week’s testimony from E.U. Ambassador Gordon Sondland backed up what President Trump has said from day one: there was no “quid pro quo” between POTUS and Ukraine President Zelensky.
However, Democrats are trying to twist the testimony to say the opposite.
Transcripts of Sonderland’s testimony reveal he never had any firsthand knowledge of any “quid pro quo” involving U.S. military aid traded for Ukraine investigations.
Fortunately, a small Republican counsel was able to enter Schiff’s secret basement hearings and ask Sonderland questions like this: “To the best of your knowledge, do you know about any preconditions on the aid?”
Sonderland replied, “No.”
Sonderland revealed in his testimony a phone call on September 9, 2019, when
he called the President and asked him what he wanted from Ukraine.
Trump replied, “I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. I want Zelensky to do the
right thing.”
Sonderland said he replied, “What does that mean?”
POTUS responded, “I want him (Zelensky) to do what he ran on.”
Two days after this phone call, the foreign aid was unfrozen, and Ukraine didn’t have to do anything to get it.
Of course, the Democrats are trying to twist the testimony to fit their narrative by focusing on a small portion of Sonderland’s testimony where he told an aide to
Ukrainian President Zelensky that resumption of U.S. aid “would likely not occur until Ukraine provided the public an anti-corruption statement that we had been discussing for many weeks.”
North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows attended Sondland’s testimony and took to Twitter to point out the Democrat’s lies on what Sondland testified.

That’s not all Sondland said during his closed-door deposition on October 17th. Find more of his revelations on this fair and unbiased website here.
