President Trump claimed he does not know US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland well.

Ambassador Sondland's testimony was released on Tuesday.

“Let me just tell you, I hardly know the gentleman,” Trump told reporters outside the White House on Friday.

He continued, “But this is the man who said there was no quid pro quo and he still says that and he said that I said that, and he hasn’t changed that testimony. So this is a man that said as far as the president is concerned, there was no quid pro quo. Everybody that’s testified, even the ones that are Trump haters, they’ve all been fine, they don’t have anything.”

Remember: Despite Trump's claims, Sondland revised his testimony to admit a quid pro quo linking US military aid to Ukraine with an investigation into Joe Biden and the 2016 election.

About the Trump-Sondland relationship: Sondland once said President Trump gave him specific assignments with Ukraine.

"President Trump has not only honored me with the job of being the US ambassador to the EU, but he's also given me other special assignments, including Ukraine," he told a Ukraine media outlet in July.

Trump previously called Sondland “a really good man and great American” and “highly respected.”
