Sondland Will Say He Didn’t Know About Hunter Allegations Until Whistleblower Complaint


During his planned testimony before the House committees investigating impeachment on Thursday, U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland plans to tell lawmakers that he wasn’t aware that Hunter Biden was at the center of the Trump pressure campaign he was helping to orchestrate.

According to the Washington Post, Sondland will testify that he didn’t know that Hunter Biden was a member of the Ukrainian gas board until after the whistleblower complaint came out and was unaware that some fellow government officials were concerned that Trump was trying to push for an investigation into his political rival.

According to a person with knowledge of Sondland’s testimony, the U.S. diplomat will be sure to paint Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani as the most central figure in the pressure effort and that Sondland, as well as the other U.S. diplomats at the center of the pressure campaign, were just trying to “understand through Rudy what the President’s concerns were and try to address them.” During Sondland’s discussions with Giuliani about Ukraine and Burisma, Giuliani never mentioned Biden, the person familiar with Sondland’s testimony told the Post.

That claim may face tough scrutiny, given Giuliani’s public appearances at the time in which he repeatedly raised Hunter Biden’s role on the board of Burisma.

Report: Trump Thinks Bolton’s Leaking Details On Ukraine Scandal

President Donald Trump reportedly thinks his former National Security Advisor John Bolton is behind at least some of the leaks regarding the burgeoning Ukraine scandal.

The Daily Beast reported on Tuesday that Trump’s been floating Bolton as one of the administration insiders providing leak after leak to the media detailing officials’ deep concern over Trump and Rudy Giuliani’s attempt to get foreign governments to investigate Joe Biden.

According to one of the Daily Beast’s unnamed sources, Trump would make comments like “Oh gee, I wonder who the source on that could be” to imply that Bolton, whose relationship with the President had soured by the time he was ousted in September, was leaking to the media out of spite toward his former boss.

According to a New York Times report, White House aid Fiona Hill testified to Congress on Monday that Bolton had been so disturbed by Trump and Giuliani’s actions that he asked Hill to inform White House lawyers about the scheme.

He also reportedly told her to tell Congress that he was not part of “whatever drug deal” U.S. Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland and acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney were “cooking up.”
