'Notwithstanding the State Department's current direction to not testify, Ambassador Sondland will honor the Committees' subpoena, and he looks forward to testifying on Thursday,' Sondland's attorney said.
The United States ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, will comply with a congressional subpoena to testify to lawmakers behind closed doors next week in a move that will defy a directive from the State Department and the Trump administration.
As part of the subpoena, which was issued Wednesday, Sondland will testify privately to lawmakers from several committees October 17. Luskin said he will not, however, be complying with the subpoena's demand to turn over documents relevant to the Ukraine scandal because the State Department"has sole authority to produce such documents."
Text messages among top U.S. diplomats, including Sondland and the former top U.S. diplomat to Ukraine, Kurt Volker, released by congressional committees leading the impeachment probe, have shown that Sondland acted as an intermediary for Trump and Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal lawyer, in their attempts to sway the Ukrainian president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
