this was one from bill taylor to ambassador gordon sondland and ambassador kurt volker. one thing kurt and i talked about yesterday was the senior aide of president zelensky, the point that president zelensky is sensitive about ukraine being taken seriously, not merely an instrument in washington domestic re-election politics. they not only felt the pressure, they got the message. they were ultimately not going to get military aid unless they furthered president trump's re-election efforts. that is a corruptle abuse of power. another argument that's made is that trump never said quid pro quo. and what you're going to hear is on ad call with ambassador sondland after a "washington post" article came out a september 5th, which we will look at. after that there was a "washington post" article that came out that elks spoezed the ukrainian scheme. days after that president trump was on a phone call with ambassador sondland and without prompting said there was no quid pro quo. because he got caught, so he's offering his defense. but even ambassador sondland in his sworn testim
