America’s Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, appears to be trying to defend himself against the testimony of Gordon Sondland about his role in the Ukraine controversy.

“I came into this at Volker’s request. Sondland is speculating based on VERY little contact. I never met him and had very few calls with him, mostly with Volker,” Giuliani said in a since-deleted tweet during the hearing.
“Volker testified I answered their questions and described them as my opinions, NOT demands. I.E., no quid pro quo!” he added.
Sondland referenced Giuliani several times in his testimony, clarifying that “talk to Rudy” meant that he understood Giuliani was relaying the president’s interests.
“[I]f I had known of all of Mr. Giuliani’s dealings or of his associations with individuals now under criminal indictment, I would not have acquiesced to his participation,” Sondland said.
