WASHINGTON (AP) Ambassador Gordon Sondland declared to impeachment investigators Wednesday that President Donald Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani explicitly sought a quid pro quo with Ukraine, leveraging an Oval Office visit for political investigations of Democrats. But he also came to believe the trade involved much more.

WATCH: Republican counsels full questioning of Gordon Sondland | Trump impeachment hearings
So what if he did?
No reason for US aid to go to corrupt countries.
“””””’Ambassador Gordon Sondland declared to impeachment investigators Wednesday that President Donald Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani explicitly sought a quid pro quo””””””
......until he later said he had no idea there was a quid pro quo.
Straight up lie by AP. And they whine and bitch they are called Fake News?

Uh, ap . . . explicitly and presumably do not mean the same thing.
Gordan noted today that He did NOT include the phone call where Trump said "I want nothing...no quid pro quo...Just want Zelensky to do what is right.
That one phone call is the whole case...and the SOB left it out....and got caught.
He DID NOT!
Bogus, Fake News, again.
It’s a lie. This is bogus. It’s what they wanted to happen. The witness was completely impeached.
Dude, hearsay is way better than actual proof.
Liars.
This is a flat out lie by the AP and they know it.
Shifty Schiff must be a staff writer for AP. The AP should have watched the hearing because Sondland said he wanted nothing and no quid pro quo.
It doesn’t matter what the witness says, it is only important what the media says that he said.
Whats lost in all of this is that even if Trump did everything that hes being accused of...
...EVERYTHING...
Theres NOTHING WRONG with what he did or said.
He is perfectly within his rights as president to request an investigation into corruption no matter WHO the offenders are and perfectly within his right to hold taxpayer monies until his demands are met.
This is infuriating.
Why don’t they question Giuliani under oath. If they do, the who thing could blow up in Schiff’s face.
After Biden loses the Primary, can we THEN investigate him and his son? It would seem to me, that most fair minded people across America would like to seem them both tarred, feathered, and dropped into a live volcano.
“Bald faced lie”.
Appropriate, now I wonder what the etymology of the phrase is.
Exactly. Ann Coulter was talking about that, the whole point of foreign aid is that they do something for us, but leave it to the Rats to make anything and everything Trump does a crime.

Im starting to believe in alternate universe theory. What I heard was that he was told NO QUID PRO QUO by Trump in a phone call. Why is that not the headline?
Bottom line: The guy must believe Trump was lying to him.
