“US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland told President Trump that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ‘loves your ass’ and that Ukraine was going to move forward with the investigation Trump had asked Zelensky for a day earlier, according to new testimony from a US official in Kiev who overheard the phone conversation,” CNN reports.
“David Holmes told lawmakers in a closed-door impeachment inquiry Friday that Sondland had told Trump the Ukrainian President would do ‘anything you ask him to’ and that Sondland had confirmed the Ukrainians were going to ‘do the investigation,’ one day after Trump has asked Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden.”
New York Times: “After the call ended, Mr. Holmes asked it if was true that the president did not care about Ukraine, the people said. The ambassador replied that Mr. Trump cared only about the ‘big stuff,’ like investigations that his personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani was pushing for, because they affected him personally.”
