He believed Gordon Sondland talked directly to president donald trump. He said he thought it was approximately five times between july 25th and september 11th. Those, of course, the dates of the first phone call between President Trump and ukraine president zelensky, and then on september 11th, thats when that money, nearly 400 million in security assistance, was released.
