WATCH: 'Unusual' but not outlandish for EU Amb. Sondland to be involved in Ukraine, Taylor testifies

“It’s a little unusual” for Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, to be involved in U.S. policy toward Ukraine, but it was not outlandish, Bill Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat to Ukraine, testified before House lawmakers on Nov. 13. Taylor testified in the first public hearing in the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump. As a part of the hearing, Taylor was questioned by GOP staff attorney Stephen Castor about an irregular channel that was set up to handle U.S. policy on Ukraine that consisted of Sondland, Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
