David Holmes, testifying behind closed doors, backs up US diplomat Bill Taylor's version of the call between President Trump and the US ambassador to the European Union
US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland told President Donald Trump that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky"loves your ass" and that Ukraine was going to move forward with the investigation Trump had asked Zelensky for a day earlier, according to new testimony from a US official in Kiev who overheard the phone conversation.
David Holmes told lawmakers in a closed-door impeachment inquiry Friday that Sondland had told Trump the Ukrainian President would do"anything you ask him to" and that Sondland had confirmed the Ukrainians were going to"do the investigation," one day after Trump has asked Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, according to a copy of Holmes' opening statement obtained by CNN.
