A$AP Rocky Was Focus of Call Between Trump & EU Ambassador, Impeachment Testimony Reveals

A$AP Rocky is seen outside the Loewe show during Paris Fashion Week SS20 on Sept. 27, 2019 in Paris, France.

Ambassador Gordon Sondland says a July cellphone call with President Donald Trump “primarily discussed” rapper Sondland told a House impeachment inquiry into Trump on Wednesday that testimony from U.S. diplomat David Holmes had jogged his memory of the discussion. Sondland says his July 26 call with Trump from a Kyiv restaurant mainly focused on the rapper, instead of Ukraine military aid. At the time, the rapper was in a Swedish jail awaiting trial on charges stemming from a June 30 street brawl in Stockholm.

Holmes previously testified behind closed doors that he overhead Sondland tell Trump that the president should let Rocky “get sentenced, play the racism card, and give him a ticker-tape when he comes home.” Trump publicly weighed in to support the Grammy-nominated rapper, who pleaded self-defense. The rapper, along with his two bodyguards, on Aug. 14 were given “conditional sentences,” meaning they wouldn’t serve prison time unless they commit a similar offense the in the future.
