The US House Intelligence Committee heard testimony Wednesday morning from Gordon Sondland, US Ambassador to the EU, followed by testimony from Laura Cooper, deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russian, Ukrainian and Eurasian Affiars, and David Hale, undersecretary of state for political affairs, in the evening.
In his opening statement, Sondland emphasized that he agreed to work with President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, at the direction of the president and, though he disagreed with Giuliani’s involvement, he did not believe it to be improper.
