Return for the 2016 dnc server and burisma investigation. When you heard burisma, you didnt see it as code for biden, the bidens . I did not. When did you know that. Your testimony saying that burisma included the bidens when the readout came out. My testimony wasnt specific with regards to the date. September . I dont recall the date. If i told you that the Legal Definition of bribery was an event of offering, giving, soliciting or receiving of any item of value and the means of influencing an action of an individual holding a public or legal duty. Do you believe that not only was it quid pro quo but it was bribery. Not a lawyer and im not going to characterize what
something was or wasnt legally. You also said in your Opening Statement that Secretary Perry and yourself, as well as Ambassador Volker worked with giuliani on the ukraine matter, and express direction of the president. Is that right . You also go on to say that we did not want to work with giuliani, simply put we played t
statements, you tend to believe them. with my limited interaction with him, he seemed honorable. thank you, mr. ambassador. i yield back. mr. castro. good afternoon, ambassador. welcome. others close to president trump have made it clear that investigations were in fact part of a condition for u.s. assistance to ukraine, including ridge giuliani and mick mulvaney, the acting chief of staff. ambassador sondland, at a press conference on october 17, acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney discussed his belief that it s entirely appropriate to politicize u.s. foreign policy. ambassador, how often did you speak or meet with mr. mulvaney? again, based on my lack of records, i m going by a bad memory. based on your memory. i think i had one formal meeting with mr. mulvaney and had nothing to do with ukraine.
