Sondland said that 'President Trump cares more about the investigations of Biden, which Giuliani was pressing for' than the U.S. policies on Ukraine, according to Taylor.
Courtney SubramanianWASHINGTON – A new revelation in public testimony from Ambassador Bill Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, was that one of his aides overheard a July 26 phone call between President Donald Trump and the U.S. Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland in which the president inquired about"the investigations."
Taylor, in testimony before the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, said his staffer asked Sondland what the president thought about Ukraine after the phone call, which came a day after Trump's conversation with Zelensky that is now the focus of the impeachment inquiry. Sondland said that"President Trump cares more about the investigations of Biden, which Giuliani was pressing for" than the U.S. policies on Ukraine, according to Taylor.
The ambassador on Wednesday also shed more light on the Trump administration's decision to freeze $400 million in security aid for Ukraine over the summer, including attempts by senior administration officials to convince Trump to release the military assistance. Taylor said CIA Director Gina Haspel was among senior administration officials who tried to persuade Trump to lift the hold on Ukraine's military aid.
