Vice President Mike Pence denied a claim by Gordon Sondland that the ambassador discussed Ukraine aid conditioned on an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden and his efforts to oust a prosecutor targeting Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings.
“The vice president never had a conversation with Gordon Sondland about investigating the Bidens, Burisma, or the conditional release of financial aid to Ukraine based upon potential investigations,” Pence’s chief of staff, Marc Short, said Wednesday moments after Sondland’s testimony. “This alleged discussion recalled by Ambassador Sondland never happened.”
