US ambassador to the EU breaks with Trump, testifies in front of Congress

US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland was directed by President Donald Trump to work with Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine, he told Congress on during his testimony, and was left with a choice: Abandon efforts to bolster a key strategic alliance or work to satisfy the demands of the President's personal lawyer. CNN's Anderson Cooper has more.

    1. @joe blow you spelt “right” wrong unless you mean Cummings to which we would all say go back to 4chan you sad meme edge loser.

    1. @Jack Chevy if you can watch and comprehension real news you would have asked that question…..therefore you must be a tRumpTard….lol

    1. @William H Wow you really are projecting. I’ve seen you commenting like this before. You are VERY interested in every commentators sexual orientation. YOU really need to come out of the closet.

    2. William H
      Have fun trolling on CNN’s YouTube channel… you certainly won’t find me on a conspiracy theorist channel 😑

    3. Ask the cnn whistle blower they being exposed too biased and bounty to being anti Trump for ratings 🤷‍♀️ snakes 🐍 are every where !

    1. Goahead, Nope! Trump supporters are amazing people. Very resilient, unlike creepy phony demonrats. Trump trumps libturdedness🇺🇸🤷‍♂️🤙👈🏻

    2. That’s all tRumpTards and tRump.have; misinformation, diversion and opposite talk. tRump will be jailed and impeached.

    3. @der Jakob the Republicans hid the truth under national security lies, they tried it again, it will not work. tRump will be jailed and impeached.

    1. William H
      Yes, and Ash Cockwell is part of they’re clan, that’s why he loves this fake news.

    2. @MajesG Do not forget I am a Baltimore Maryland troll. And yes it is true I get on here to pick on liberals for fun.. it is true to that most of you liberals are not even Americans crying about President Trump. I do not get paid for this I am a truck driver.. I run out of Dundalk marine terminal here in Baltimore Maryland.. its also true that President Trump will win by a landslide in 2020. Better luck in 2024 but I doubt it.

    3. @MajesG one other thing you think I have nothing intelligent to say you’re wrong. I bet I forgot more than you know & the sad part is thats the truth to.

  2. Amazing the “Blue Dress* & Clinton’s adultery looks like a hiccup Compared to this Dirt Rotten President & his dirty Loyalist!! Impeach! Remove! Convict him! Then Lock him Up! Pass Laws That Never Allows this Bus of Power & Dictatorship ‘Never Happens Again!!

    1. You are absolutely right!!!
      OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ATTACKED BY THE ORANGE TRAITOR TRUMP!!!
      AND REPUBLICANS(EVANGELICALS) ARE OKAY WITH THAT!!!
      WHAT A DISGRACED(GOP)

    2. While the Clinton scandal ended up with Bill committing a crime, it was never against national security interests. While a foreign government may have been able to blackmail Bill Clinton, he never acted against the interest of the country. Telling a lie under oath about a personal matter is different then telling a lie about a matter that the entire populace of the country needs to be concerned with

  3. In more rational times, when the rule of law was in effect, a potus handing someone like Sondland a position in his administration because he contributed 1 million to his election campaign fund would be a presidency ending scandal.

    1. Exactly. It’s like we’ve all been gaslighted into accepting that wall-to-wall corruption is normal. There’s so much of it that every new revelation just fades into the scenery.

    2. Yeah trump’s really cleaning up the swamp. Give him lots of money and you get the keys to the white house

    3. Incorrect. The state department career officials in our embassies handle the majority of the job in regards to our allies. It is not uncommon for a donor to be granted ambassadorship to an ally as a reward. While I think this is bad practice and should stop, I recognize as long as someone is doing the job then it’s not against our national security interests.

    4. @Kishandreth usually, if someone is made an ambassador, they have some connection with the post other than just money. In trump’s world money is everything. Truth doesn’t matter, morals don’t matter and honesty, well that was the first thing to disappear from the trump administration. To summarize, you’re trying to normalize the abnormal. Trump is money, money, money, money

    1. @Ash Roskell no, I believe that Semites are entitled to live peacefully in their lands without America blowing their stuff up at the order of the fake Semites, who currently occupy Arab land under the guise of being god’s “chose people”. Todays jews arent really jews. They’re godless, mischieveous m0ngГ3|§.

    1. How many times did Mueller state he didn’t remember or couldn’t recall something?
      How about Hillary?
      Lois Lerner?
      Anybody and everybody who’s ever testified before Congress?
      They all use that line, so they must all be guilty, by your standard.

    1. Michael Cohen said that everyone and anyone that defend trump will end up just like him in jail he is a prime example !

    2. @Kelly Bowe Who knew Micael Cohen would turn out to be the truth-teller? He’s gotta be savoring a little bit of schadenfreude.

    1. Matt is couldn’t even bring himself to call Trump ‘president’, the entire speech. He simply called him by name. That says a lot.

    2. Mattis knows that US democracy is under direct threat and he has inside knowledge and the best he can do is clever humor? DO BETTER

    1. @Gavin
      Muhammad Ali refused the draft for different reasons. Cowardness was not the reason. He stood up Civil Rights and Injustice to non White races. This was a Brave action during turbulent times. Besides the Vietnam war all a big scam. Put Billions in the pockets of Weapons manufacturers and suppliers. Ali was no Coward! He went toe to toe with some of the scariest fighters in the heavyweight division.

    2. @Gavin Ali was also truthful about why he would not go to Vietnam for a senseless war/conflict. He also did time (prison) for “dodging” the draft, so much for making excuses and running away…

  4. Mulvaney threw himself under the bus lol. The amount of stupid is hilarious. The white nuthouse is filled with hand grenades.

    1. @stephen glover How can you write without a brain. You didn’t see Mulvaney saying there was quid pro quo. And are you so ill informed that you don;t know a quid pro quo isn’t even necessary to impeach. You are as blind as a mole. I bet you didn’t read the Brokahontas transcript of his call with Zelensky. Ignorance is bliss ion the orange imbecile camp i see.

    2. @Hamberder King there’s nothing there mate, keep dreaming, if there was enough evidence Pelosi would have voted by now. Why would you want to impeach a president that has done so much for this country. 3.5% record low unemployment 3% wage increase. 6.4 million new jobs, all time high stock market securing our border, prison reform, MSCA, trade deal with china, bringing troops home. 3% GDP. All promises made and promises kept so you can insult me as much as you want – but these facts are undisputed and you can’t deny them. The fisa abuse report will demonstrate that it was clinton doing the very thing that TRump is being accused of, yet no rule of law for the left. massive hypocrites. Sondland clealry says there was no quid quo pro. Who gives a dam what Mulverney says. All said and done it won’t make any difference to 2020 any-way he will still be in his office and he will still get re-elected, FACT – because people care more about what is in their pocket book than impeachment, Refer to the moody’s analytic report posted by CNN – your stupid tv network even say it will be a landslide. Richard Guest CNN London, FACT

    3. @Hamberder King Listen to prove bribery or extortion you need a quid quo pro, otherwise it’s just he said she said, it’s not enough. Without the quid quo pro there is no evidence of any crime. So let’s look at the scenario. If you impeach him off this he won’t be convicted, so he’s still in office and then every single time there is a Dem in office the republicans which impeach over nothing resulting in a diminished democracy and constitution. They have wanted to impeach him since day 1, that’s because they didn’t understand why the american people voted for him, due to this unacceptance of the result and need for revenge and obsession you’re going for impeachment. You can’t impeach someone just because you don’t like them follow the democratic process and vote them out. But because you can’t because you’re candidates are so weak and your policies are so weak and so far left you know you don’t have a chance therefore impeachment. So at least be honest with yourself and call it for what it is

    4. @stephen glover read the transcript from the orange idiot’s phonecal; dumbass You are keeping yourself willingly ignorant as a real cult member the idiot is giving them the evidence himself How fucking stupid can you cult maggots be You should live under the ground as the blind mole you are.

  5. The EMBASSADOR hotelier paid trump to get his job, totally unqualified but prepared to follow orders , criminal orders, to get this job, Must take full responsibility for his part in this amazing corruption. NOt feeling sorry for him.
