What Went Down During Gordon Sondland’s Testimony

A key part of Sondland’s defense of his own actions seems to be that a lot of high-level people in the White House (Pompeo, Bolton, etc) knew what he was doing and didn’t object. Among other things, it underscores the absence of these high-level witnesses from the investigation so far.

“I was acting in good faith,” Sondland says. What does he think that phrase means?

Here’s a question for the hive mind, since I’ve read so much about suspension of security aid over the past few weeks … do we have any clue or inkling of who that idea came from? Trump himself? Giuliani in Trump’s ear? Someone else? It seems like a basic question, I know, but I think a good one to have cleared up!
