WATCH: All the key moments from Gordon Sondland's Trump impeachment hearing in 15 minutes (Day 4)

Trump's first impeachment - 2020

Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, testified to House lawmakers Wednesday as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Trump. Sondland testified that there was a “quid pro quo” in which a White House meeting and a phone call with Trump were contingent on Ukraine agreeing to investigate the 2016 elections and the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, where the son of 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, Hunter, sat on the board. Sondland also said he understood the “prerequisites” to be a reflection of “Trump’s desires and requirements.” Sondland is a key figure in the impeachment inquiry who communicated regularly between U.S. diplomats, Ukrainian officials and Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani in an effort to facilitate the president's interests.
