US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, center, arrives at the US Capitol in Washington on Thursday. "None of the brief and general call summaries I received contained any mention of Burisma or former Vice President Biden, nor even suggested that President Trump had made any kind of request of President Zelensky." But he also plans to testified that Giuliani told the diplomats that the statement needed the two investigations "of importance for the President." "Mr. Giuliani emphasized that the President wanted a public statement from President Zelensky committing Ukraine to look into anti-corruption issues," Sondland said. Sondland told the committee Thursday that he was not turning over any documents because the State Department has told him the documents are confidential to the executive branch or privileged.
