U.S. Ambassador To EU, Cited In Text Exchanges, Blocked From Testifying

Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, was scheduled to appear in front of House committees on Tuesday.

Sondland was cited in a series of text exchanges published last week between U.S. and Ukrainian officials. But with hours to spare, the State Department has blocked Sondland from testifying.
