“ ‘I want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo.’ ”

That’s President Donald Trump quoting U.S. Ambassador Gordon Sondland’s recollection during the impeachment hearing earlier in the day of a phone call between the two men about plans for Ukraine.

“I would say that means it’s all over,” Trump said on the White House lawn, reading from his notepad as he suggested Sondland’s testimony exonerates him. “If you weren’t fake news, you’d cover it properly.”
