Wednesday in the fifth public hearing of Democrats’ impeachment inquiry that President Trump never talked to him personally about preconditions on “anything” having to do with Ukraine.
Democrats have accused Trump of withholding a White House meeting and $400 million military aid for Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine trying to dig up dirt on political rivals. However, Sondland — a key witness in their case — testified that he never heard the president personally talk about any preconditions.
The Republican counsel Steve Castor asked Sondland: “Did the president ever tell you personally about pre-conditions for anything?”
Sondland responded, “No.”
Castor asked: “OK, so the president never told you about any preconditions for the aid to be released?”
Again Sondland responded, “No.”
Finally, Castor asked: “The president never told you about any preconditions for a White House meeting?”
Sondland responded, “Personally, no.”
