- Gordon Sondland, the US’s ambassador to the EU, became the second impeachment witness to be fired on Friday.
- Sondland was ousted not long after after Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, another crucial firsthand witness to President Donald Trump’s Ukraine dealings, was abruptly fired and escorted from the White House.
- “I was advised today that the President intends to recall me effective immediately as United States Ambassador to the European Union,” Sondland said in a statement.
