Similarly, U.S. Rep. Will
Hurd, R-Helotes, sought
specific evidence that
Trump ordered a quid pro
quo or that the Ukrainians
perceived they had been
offered a quid pro quo.
U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro
of San Antonio, the only
Texas Democrat on the
committee, focused on a
White House acting chief
of staff Mick Mulvaney's
comments in an October
news conference. At the
time, Mulvaney advised to
"Get over it. There's going
to be political influence in
foreign policy."
"In the context of what
was going on Ukraine,
I believe the president
should not investigate a
political rival in return for
a quid pro quo," Sondland
answered in response to
Castro's questions.
