The president said he didn't remember a phone call he allegedly had with his ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, on July 26, one day after Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for 'a favor.'
Trump denies any knowledge of a phone call he allegedly had with U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland on July 26.Trump is said to have asked Sondland during the call about "the investigations."
"I've never heard this," Trump continued. "In any event, it's more secondhand information, but I've never heard it." According to Taylor, Holmes was sitting with Sondland at a restaurant in Kyiv on July 26 and heard Sondland tell the president "that the Ukrainians were ready to move forward" with the two investigations.
But Sondland later revised that testimony, to say that there were, in fact, conditions on the aid, namely, that Ukraine's president publicly announce the launch of two investigations into Trump's political rivals. In his revised testimony, Sondland said he conveyed the specifics of Trump's demands to a top Ukrainian official, in person, on Sept. 1.
