Gordon Sondland, President Trump’s ambassador to the European Union (EU), reportedly kept top officials in the Trump administration updated on efforts to persuade Ukraine to launch an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden (D) ahead of Trump’s much-publicized July call with the country’s president.
The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that Sondland updated officials, including acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Energy Secretary Rick Perry, via email on the results of his efforts, which have become the center of House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.
Sondland’s reported efforts come as top officials, including the former ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, have testified that they were uncomfortable with a “shadow” foreign policy seemingly being run out of the White House by Trump and his top lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
