Hill says Sondland was carrying out a "domestic political errand"

National Security Council expert Fiona Hill explained during her testimony Thursday that she became frustrated with Ambassador Gordon Sondland because he did not communicate with her or her State Department colleagues about what he was pursuing in Ukraine. Hill said she now understands that Sondland was carrying out a "domestic political errand" at President Trump's orders. "What I was angry about was that he wasn't coordinating with us," Hill said. "Now, I've actually realized, having listened to his deposition, that... he wasn't coordinating with us because we weren't doing the same thing that he was doing."
