@FoxNews @USAmbEU Full opening statement of @USAmbEU: politico.com/f/?id=0000016e… #ImpeachmentInquiry
@FoxNews @USAmbEU Knowledge of @POTUS #Ukraine "scheme" was far and wide and included @SecPompeo and @VP, according to @RepAdamSchiff.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff "Ambassador Sondland, you are here today to be smeared," says @DevinNunes.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "We need to subpoena Hunter Biden, as well as the whistleblower," declares @DevinNunes. #ImpeachmentInquiry
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "I agreed to testify because I respect the gravity
of the moment and I believe I have an obligation to account fully for my role in these events," says @USAmbEU.
of the moment and I believe I have an obligation to account fully for my role in these events," says @USAmbEU.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "I have not had access to all of my phone records, State Department e-mails, and other State Department documents. And I was told I could not work with my EU staff to pull together the relevant files," says @USAmbEU.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "My lawyers and I have made multiple requests to the State Department and the White House for these materials. Yet, these materials were not provided to me. They have also refused to share these materials with this Committee," adds @USAmbEU.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "In the absence of these materials, my memory has not been perfect," adds @USAmbEU.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "Secretary Perry, Ambassador Volker and I worked with Mr. Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine matters at the express direction of the president of the United States," says @USAmbEU. "We did not want to work with Mr. Giuliani ...We were playing the hand we were dealt."
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "We did not think that we were engaging in improper
behavior, we made every effort to ensure that the relevant decision-makers at the National Security Council and State Department knew the important details of our efforts," according to @USAmbEU.
behavior, we made every effort to ensure that the relevant decision-makers at the National Security Council and State Department knew the important details of our efforts," according to @USAmbEU.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "The suggestion that we were engaged in some irregular or rogue diplomacy is absolutely false," adds @USAmbEU.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "E-mails show that the leadership of State, NSC, and the White House were all informed about the Ukraine efforts from May 23, 2019, until the security aid was released on September 11, 2019," testifies @USAmbEU.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "As a presidential appointee, I followed the directions of the president. We worked with Mr. Giuliani because the president directed us to do so. ... We had no desire to set any conditions on the Ukrainians," @USAmbEU tells #ImpeachmentInquiry.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "Any claim that I somehow 'muscled' my way into the Ukraine relationship is simply false," says @USAmbEU.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes "I believed then, as I do now, that the men and women of the State Department, not the President’s personal lawyer, should take responsibility for Ukraine matters," testifies @USAmbEU, a political appointee of @realDonaldTrump.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes @realDonaldTrump "We kept the leadership of the State Department and the NSC informed of our activities. That included communications with Secretary of State Pompeo...They knew what we were doing and why."
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes @realDonaldTrump "I recall mentioning the pre-requisite of investigations before any
White House call or meeting. But I do not recall any yelling or screaming or abrupt terminations, as others have said," says @USAmbEU.
White House call or meeting. But I do not recall any yelling or screaming or abrupt terminations, as others have said," says @USAmbEU.
@FoxNews @USAmbEU @POTUS @SecPompeo @VP @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes @realDonaldTrump "Looking back, I find it very odd, very odd, that neither I, nor Ambassador Taylor nor Ambassador Volker ever received a detailed read-out of that (July 25 @POTUS-@ZelenskyyUa) call with the Biden references," testifies @USAmbEU.
"Now, there are people who say they had concerns about that call. But no one shared any concerns about the call with me at the time, which frankly would have been very helpful to know," adds @USAmbEU.
"I would have been more surprised if President Trump had not mentioned investigations, particularly given what we were hearing from Mr. Giuliani about the president’s concerns," adds @USAmbEU.
@USAmbEU "I know that members of this Committee have frequently framed these complicated issues in the form of a simple question: Was there a 'quid pro quo?' As I testified previously, with regard to the requested White House call and White House meeting, the answer is yes."
@USAmbEU "As I communicated to the team, I told President Zelensky in advance that assurances to 'run a fully transparent investigation' and 'turn over every stone' were necessary in his call with President Trump."
@USAmbEU @SecPompeo As @RepAdamSchiff begins questioning @USAmbEU, re-upping this @realDonaldTrump Oct. 8 tweet.
“If we wanted to get anything done with Ukraine, it was apparent we needed to talk to” @RudyGiuliani, testifies @USAmbEU.
"I never heard... anyone say the investigations had to start or they had to be completed. I only heard...they would have to be announced,” states @USAmbEU.
“President Trump never told me directly the aid was conditioned on the meetings,” testifies @USAmbEU.
“I’m a proud part of the Three Amigos,” responds @USAmbEU to @DevinNunes.
“The alleged discussion recalled by Ambassador Sondland never happened,” says @marcshort45.
Response from the personal attorney of @POTUS:
Statement issued by @ENERGY asserting @USAmbEU, in his testimony today, misrepresented role of @SecretaryPerry.

@POTUS @USAmbEU @WhiteHouse @GOP @reuterspictures @SecPompeo @CongressmanRaja Refuting @DevinNunes concluding statement that nothing has been proven, @RepAdamSchiff asserts today's testimony of @USAmbEU demonstrates @POTUS "withheld vital military aid from an ally at war with the Russians."
