NEW: Lawyer says Gordon Sondland will defy State Department order not to testify in impeachment probe by stableford
Three days after State Department officials, in a post-midnight phone call, ordered Gordon Sondland, a central player in the Ukraine controversy, not to testify in the House impeachment inquiry into President Trump, his lawyer said on Friday that he will appear before Congress next week.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff blasted the Trump administration for blocking Sondland’s testimony, saying that Sondland had turned over text messages or emails “deeply relevant” to the investigation to the State Department, but that the department had refused to provide those to Congress.
The announcement came hours before Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, was scheduled to testify before the same committees as part of the House impeachment probe. Yovanovitch was removed from her post, reportedly because she objected to the back-channel communications between Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, and the government of Ukraine.
