House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff asked Gordon Sondland about the hold that was put on the aid to Ukraine.
Sondland said that, during a meeting with Vice President Mike Pence, Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, asked, "When do we get our money?"
Here's the exchange:
Schiff: "They understood that the security assistance was being held up, right?"
Sondland: "I don't know when they understood it, but presumably they did."
Schiff: "Well, certainly once it was public, they understood the security assistance was withheld, right?"
Sondland: "Once it was public, I assume so."
Schiff: "And indeed, that was one of the issues brought up in that meeting between Zelensky and Pence in Warsaw?"
Sondland: I think as I testified previously, chairman, I think Zelensky if I recall, asked the question more open ended, like 'When do we get our money?'"
