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
giuliani and giuliani did not relate that he was tying on behalf of the president or on the president s behalf aide and then giuliani never said to him that aide was tied to investigations. the question i have for you is, did you ever have a conversation with giuliani that did not involve volker? your testimony is a lot of we and so do you and giuliani have a separate phone call where giuliani told you that the aid was tied. volker said that never happened. i did have a few conversations. i don t recall how many because i don t have the records, with mr. giuliani directly when mr. volker wasn t available. did giuliani say what were you going to say? i don t believe i testified that mr. giuliani told me that aid was tied. oh, this is part of the problem, ambassador sondland. i want to walk you through it. you have sent to us everyone was in the loop.

saying he s disappointed in john bolton, as tensions between those with current and past ties with the president appeared to boil over. here now hogan gidley, good to have you here this evening. with regard to john bolton and rudy giuliani, i heard mayor giuliani say john bolton doesn t have a good understanding of the work he was doing in ukraine and he doesn t understand the connection of ukraine to the origins of collusion in 2016. is that the white house take, that john bolton doesn t understand the investigation here? i haven t had a direct conversation with president trump about john bolton or any conversations that fiona hill talk to democrats in the least secret hearings and backdoor meetings that she had the last couple of days. what i can tell you is that conversations the president and i have about this center around a much broader problem, that is
