WATCH: Rep. Schiff’s full closing statement in Gordon Sondland hearing |...

Rep. Adam Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chair, said that Gordon Sondland's testimony was a "seminal moment in our investigation," adding that the evidence brought forward by the U.S. ambassador to the European Union was "deeply significant and troubling." Schiff spoke after the testimony from Sondland on Nov. 20, in a public hearing as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. Other government officials have testified that Sondland helped push Ukraine to investigate the 2016 elections, the Ukrainian company Burisma and the Biden family.

On July 19 specifically, Trump charge and Ambassador to the E.U.

Two New Staffers Destroy Trump’s ‘Hearsay’ Defense

It was less than a week ago when Republicans were telegraphing an audacious new defense of President Trump’s Ukraine extortion scheme. The whole caper, they were prepared to argue, had actually been masterminded by Gordon Sondland. The hotelier and foreign-policy novice, handed a plush ambassadorship to the European Union as a reward for a donation, had somehow gone out of his lane and taken over Ukraine policy from a cadre of experienced professionals — all without Trump’s knowledge or permission.....

Republicans sacrifice Giuliani, Mulvaney and Sondland to save Trump, but facts are getting in the way - The Washington Post

House Republicans are now preparing to sacrifice poor Rudolph Giuliani to save President Trump. Their new argument is that Giuliani — along with acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Ambassador Gordon Sondland — were freelancing the organized campaign to extort Ukraine into carrying out Trump’s political bidding, and Trump had no input into it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/08/republicans-are-throwing-giuliani-under-bus-theres-problem/

Pompeo’s decision to ‘throw up his hands’ and let Giuliani run foreign policy is ‘astounding’: Retired admiral – Raw Story

On Tuesday, EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland revised his testimony to acknowledge — contrary to his previous denials to Congress — that President Donald Trump did, in fact, pursue a quid pro quo in Ukraine for dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden. On CNN’s “The Situation Room,” retired Admiral John Kirby expressed his astonishment with the ongoing revelations — particularly as they pertain to the State Department.
