Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland believed the White House meeting sought by Ukraine President Zelensky depended on an agreement to open a Biden probe, according to his attorney.
U.S. ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland told House lawmakers last week that President Donald Trumpās pressure on Ukraine to open an investigation into Joe Bidenās son before a White House meeting amounted to a quid pro quo, his lawyer told The Wall Street Journal.
Sondland believed Ukraineās agreement to investigate Biden, his son and an unfounded conspiracy theory that Democrats manipulated the 2016 election was a condition for a sought-after White House meeting with Trump by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to the Journal.
Asked by a House committee lawmaker as part of the ongoing impeachment probe if the arrangement was a quid pro quo, Sondland responded that he wasnāt a lawyer but believed the answer was yes, his attorney Robert Luskin told the newspaper.
Sondland would likely return for further questioning if asked, Luskin told the Journal.
