| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Acting U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor, while testifying in an impeachment inquiry hearing Wednesday, revealed new information about President Donald Trump's conversations about Ukraine.
During his opening remarks before the House Intelligence Committee, Taylor said one of his staff members told him just last week about a conversation he had with Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland the day after Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Taylor said the staff member was at a restaurant with Sondland, who donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration committee and was appointed to his role by the president, when Sondland called Trump on July 26. The staff member could hear Trump ask about "the investigations," according to Taylor. He said Sondland told Trump the Ukrainians were ready to move forward. "Following the call with President Trump, the member of my staff asked Ambassador Sondland what President Trump thought about Ukraine," Taylor testified. "Ambassador Sondland responded that President Trump cares more about the investigations of Biden, which [Trump's personal attorney Rudy] Giuliani was pressing for." Taylor suggested the House Intelligence Committee is following up on his staff member's revelation.
