Trump's first impeachment - 2020
Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, declined to answer whether he believed President Donald Trump when he told Sondland there was “no quid pro quo." Sondland said he called Trump and asked, “What do you want from Ukraine? I may have even used a four-letter word. He said I want nothing, I want no quid pro quo.” Sondland then relayed that message to Kurt Volker, who was then the U.S. special envoy to Ukraine. “I’m not going to characterize whether I believed or didn’t believe. I was just trying to characterize what he said on the phone,” Sondland said in response to questions from Republican counsel Stephen Castor. Earlier in his Nov. 20 testimony, Sondland had said, however, that there was a 'quid pro quo' between Trump and the Ukrainian president.
