with the president of the united states, on ambassador sondland s cell phone during a meeting he was having with some of his colleagues at this restaurant. this opens another can of worms. there are a whole host of follow-up questions here. who else could have heard that conversation happening? ukrainians are in the restaurant. were there other officials from the u.s. embassy that heard it? and president trump was asked about it and said he had no recollection. a sensitive conversation like that you would think the ambassador to the european union and the president would have a secure line and have a conversation like that, not at a restaurant where all sorts of people can hear what they re saying? it s uncomfortable. you re describing the name of national security officials the idea sensitive discussions like this, essentially compromising information for the president of the united states is essentially
