42:36Now PlayingTrump's first impeachment - 2020
Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, testified on Nov. 20, in a public hearing as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump that there was a “quid pro quo” in which U.S. aid and a White House meeting were contingent on Ukraine agreeing to investigate the 2016 elections and the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, where the son of 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, Hunter, sat on the board. Sondland also said he understood the “prerequisites” to be a reflection of “Trump’s desires and requirements” with Ukraine. Sondland also detailed the role Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, had in dealings with Ukraine and said he worked with Giuliani “at the express direction of the President of the United States.”
