Ambassador Sondland to testify that Trump 'directed' Giuliani in push for Ukraine to probe Biden
"directed" Rudy Giuliani's participation in efforts to get Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.
"My understanding was that the president directed Mr. Giuliani's participation, that Mr. Giuliani was expressing the concerns of the president," Sondland said in the prepared remarks at closed hearing. "I did not understand, until much later, that Mr. Giuliani's agenda might have also included an effort to prompt the Ukrainians to investigate Vice President Biden or his son or to involve Ukrainians, directly or indirectly, in the president's 2020 re-election campaign," Sondland wrote in the testimony.
