President Trump was so loud, Ambassador Sondland “sort of winced,” U.S. diplomat David Holmes said today about a phone call he overheard between the two men.
U.S. diplomat David Holmes said Thursday that he was able to overhear President Donald Trump ask U.S. Ambassador Gordon Sondland in a call about getting Ukraine to launch an investigation because the president's voice was so loud that it made Sondland hold the phone away from his ear.
Sondland "did that for the first couple exchanges," Holmes testified, enabling him to hear what was being said on both sides of the conversation. On July 26, U.S. officials including Holmes and Sondland had a meeting with Zelenskiy himself, who said that Trump had "three times" raised "some very sensitive issues," and that he would have to follow up on those issues when he and President Trump met "in person," according to Holmes' testimony.
"Even though I did not take notes of these statements, I have a clear recollection that these statements were made," Holmes said in his opening statement.
