The lawyer said in a statement: "The Department of State is currently opposed to testimony, but Ambassador Sondland respects the subpoena's subpoena and will testify on the 17th." Mr. Sondland has no authority to submit the document requested by the House of Representatives, but he wants it to be submitted before the testimony.
Controversy over the allegations that Trump has put pressure on Ukraine to investigate Vice President Joe Biden and his son, who are considered to be the most promising candidates of the opposition Democratic Party in the US presidential election next year, start. Mr. Sondland's testimony will also be part of the investigation.
Former Ambassador of Marsha Jovanovic, who was suddenly dismissed in May of this year, testified in the House of Representatives on the same day and was attacked by President Trump's counsel, Mr. Juliani, and then dismissed due to an “unfounded false claim” The view that it was done was shown.
The opposition Democratic Party said that the Trump administration was attacking Mr. Jovanovic, who was dismissed in May, using "propaganda and false information" on the 2nd of this month.
According to a copy of the opening statement of Mr. Jovanovic posted online by the Washington Post, he was told by an official of the State Department about "organized activities" against him, and the authorities said that he had no fault Despite understanding, he said there was pressure from President Trump to dismiss since mid-last year.
Mr. Juliani told President Trump and the State Department that Mr. Jovanovic blocked Mr. Biden's request for cooperation in Ukraine. Mr. Juliani said that President Trump “was in his role as a lawyer” that day.
