State Department withholding messages from Gordon Sondland, ambassador to EU, that are relevant to Trump impeachment inquiry, US House committee says
US Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland was one of a handful of US diplomats on a text message chain, provided to Democrats leading the probe, that goes to the heart of the focus of the investigation.
But "early this morning, the US Department of State directed [him] not to appear today for his scheduled transcribed interview," Sondland's attorney Robert Luskin said in a statement. Democrats leading the probe have repeatedly stated that administration efforts to impede the investigation will be construed as obstruction. They hammered the point home on Tuesday after the White House blockage.
