Trump's first impeachment - 2020
Testifying in an impeachment hearing, Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, recounted his phone call with President Donald Trump in which the president said there was “no quid pro quo.” “It was a very short, abrupt conversation. He was not in a good mood and he just said, I want nothing, I want nothing, I want no quid pro quo,” Sondland said. The ambassador said he then relayed that message to Bill Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, “not to defend what the president was saying, not to opine on whether the president was being truthful or untruthful” but to express that he had done what he could to address Taylor’s concerns. Earlier in his Nov. 20 testimony, Sondland had said, however, that there was a 'quid pro quo' between Trump and the Ukrainian president.
