Sondland confirmed his firing in a statement at the time, saying, “I was advised today that the president intends to recall me effective immediately as United States Ambassador to the European Union.”

The ambassador was a key witness in the House Democrat’s efforts to pass articles of impeachment against the president, paving the way for his trial in the Senate.

In his testimony, Sondland acknowledged there was a “quid pro quo” between Trump and the Ukrainian president in regard to releasing military aid in exchange for an investigation into then-former Vice President Joe Biden.

“I know that members of this Committee have frequently framed these complicated issues in the form of a simple question: Was there a quid pro quo?” Sondland said in a House impeachment hearing.

“As I testified previously, with regard to the requested White House call and White House meeting, the answer is yes,” he added.
