Everyone was in the loop' about Ukraine pressure campaign - 92 News HD Plus

WASHINGTON – A US diplomat said on Wednesday that “everyone was in the loop” about a Trump administration effort to get Ukraine to carry out investigations that might ultimately benefit US President Donald Trump, including Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

The probe could lead the Democratic-led House of Representatives to approve formal charges against Trump – called articles of impeachment – that would be sent to the Republican-controlled Senate for a trial on whether to remove him from office. Few Republican senators have broken with Trump. “Everyone was in the loop. It was no secret,” Sondland said of the email he sent ahead of the July 25 telephone call between Trump and Zelenskiy that triggered the impeachment inquiry.

The envoy quoted from an Aug. 22 email to Pompeo about his effort to get Zelenskiy to commit to undertake investigations, suggesting that might be a way to break the “logjam” over security aid as well as a Zelenskiy-Trump meeting. “Gordon never told Secretary Pompeo that he believed the President was linking aid to investigations of political opponents. Any suggestion to the contrary is flat out false,” said State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus.Sondland described Trump in May telling him along with Perry and then-U.S. special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker to work with Giuliani – the former New York mayor who held no U.S. government job – on Ukraine policy.
