Gordon Sondland told it all during Trump's impeachment hearings. 

According to CNN, the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union made explosive remarks during his public testimony Wednesday, saying Trump told Ukraine to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden in exchange for a White House meeting.

"Everyone was in the loop. It was no secret. Everyone was informed via email on July 19, days before the Presidential call," Sondland said. "As I communicated to the team, I told [Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky] in advance that assurances to 'run a fully transparent investigation' and 'turn over every stone' were necessary in his call with President Trump."

Sondland said he worked with Rudy Giuliani at the “express direction” of the president and pushed for a political “quid pro quo” with Ukraine, the AP reported. 


Social media users had plenty to say about Sondland's comments.

After everything we’ve already heard, you wouldn’t have thought it could get any worse for Trump.

But here we are.

Sondland's testimony also mentioned rapper A$AP Rocky. The ambassador said he didn't discuss any classified information during a phone call with Trump in July, but they talked about A$AP. The "Peso" artist was in a Swedish prison at the time after being accused of assaulting a man.

"Other witnesses have recently shared recollection of overhearing the call,"  Sondland said. "For the most part, I have no reason to doubt their accounts. It is true that the president speaks loudly at times and it is also true — I think we primarily discussed A$AP Rocky."

Social media users were both amused and surprised when the artist's name was dropped during the testimony.

According to The Washington Post, Sondland revealed an email in which he asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to help arrange a face-to-face meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. That meeting was supposed to take place during a World War II commemoration ceremony in Poland on September 1.

“I would ask Zelensky to look him in the eye and tell him that once Ukraine’s new justice folks are in place mid-Sept, that Ze should be able to move forward publicly and with confidence on those issues of importance to Potus and to the US,” Sondland wrote in an email, The Washington Post reported.

However, Mike Pence ended up making the trip instead of Trump, and Sondland had his own meeting with Zelensky's aide.
