🚨BREAKING: after denying a #QuidProQuo while under oath, Gordon Sondland now admits to a #QuidProQuo and details telling #Ukraine officials they wouldn’t get US aid until they PUBLICLY committed to investigations wanted by @realDonaldTrump.

In his “updated” testimony, Sondland admitted to discussing the #QuidProQuo with a top adviser to #Ukraine’s president: “I said that resumption of the US aid would likely not occur until #Ukraine provided the public anticorruption statement that we had been discussing.”🔥

In his “new” testimony, Sondland said he believed that withholding aid—$391 million approved by Congress—was “ill-advised,” although he did not know “when, why or by whom the aid was suspended.”🙄

But he said he came to believe that the aid was tied to the investigations.🛎🛎🛎

🤣LOL...Sondland claims he “refreshed my recollection” after reading the testimony given by Ambassador Bill Taylor and Tim Morrison (senior director for Europe and #Russia at the National Security Council).

More like the threat of prosecution for #perjury refreshed his memory.😉

Trump and his minions repeatedly denied his corrupt #QuidProQuo. Now that the evidence overwhelmingly shows that there was a #QuidProQuo, they finally admit it.

But the @GOP still gives Trump a pass.🤬

Here’s an excerpt from Sondland’s “updated” testimony, in which he “now recalls” communicating Trump’s #QuidProQuo directly to #Ukraine officials.

A heckuva thing to “forget,” especially when he was questioned for HOURS by @HouseDemocrats about this EXACT issue.🙄
