In his new book, “The Envoy: Mastering the Art of Diplomacy with Trump and the World,” Gordon Sondland discusses his time in the Trump Administration from 2018-2020 — and holds nothing back.

Why did you feel compelled to cooperate with the impeachment hearing, and what was the fallout of that decision?

When I spoke to President Trump at the White House and said the committee wanted me to speak to them, he said, “Go ahead. Just tell the truth.” He didn’t say to call lawyers or not to go. He said, “Tell the truth.” I wasn’t there to help President Trump or to hurt President Trump. I was just there to give the facts as best as I could recall them, supported by emails and memos and calendar entries. And those don’t lie. What happened, happened. What was said was said.

As a self-described “Republican who is a sensible centrist,” what’s next for you and people like you? I’m beginning to see a real fracture, and the conventional wisdom in the Republican Party is that if you don’t have a take-no-prisoners attitude with the Democrats, that all of the things Republicans don’t like about Democrats will quickly overrun the Republican perspective. I think you can have very strong conservative policy and principles and still deploy it in a way that is respectful and that includes the best of what the Democrats have to offer.
