Top Ukraine Adviser Casts Doubt on Key Impeachment Testimony

A top Ukrainian official has disputed key claims made by Democrat witnesses testifying in the impeachment case against President Donald Trump, according to a recent report in TIME Magazine.

Andriy Yermak, the top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said that U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland did not inform him of a quid pro quo offer when the two spoke in Warsaw last fall — a claim Sondland made during his testimony that has become central to the Democrats’ impeachment argument against the president. Instead, Yermak said the two men briefly met by the escalator after a meeting between President Zelensky and Vice President Mike Pence, and they both agreed the meeting between the two world leaders went very well.

“Gordon [Sondland] and I were never alone together,” Yermak told TIME in an interview last week. “We bumped into each other in the hallway next to the escalator as I was walking out … and I remember – everything is fine with my memory – we talked about how well the meeting went. That’s all we talked about.” (Read more from “Top Ukraine Adviser Casts Doubt on Key Impeachment Testimony” HERE)
