What Went Down During Gordon Sondland’s Testimony

“Trump never told me directly,” the aid was tied to the investigation, Sondland testifies. I can imagine that was communicated in code words or through Giuliani. That is not, in my view, exonerating to Trump.

Goldman is hammering that Taylor said Sondland told him that Trump himself wanted investigations for aid. Sondland replies, “President Trump never told me directly that the aid was conditioned on the meetings.”

I also think, Chad, that Sondland’s unreliability so far (having to amend his testimony) and his own admission that he doesn’t take notes could give them an opening to say he’s just not credible.
