House Democrats are calling for President Trump’s ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland, to resign in the wake of revelations about his role in the unfolding Ukraine scandal.
“These text messages are deeply troubling. Mr. Sondland has lost credibility and must resign,” Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia said. Rep. Bennie Johnson of Mississippi agreed and said Sondland had “worked behind the scenes to carry out Trump’s wishes."
Emails to Sondland and the Department of State seeking comment were not returned. The White House also did not respond to a request for comment about whether Trump intends to keep Sondland in his role. “If these allegations are true, anyone complicit in the president’s alleged attempts to pressure a foreign leader into interfering with our election should be removed from office immediately,” Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., said.
