William Taylor, acting US ambassador to Ukraine, said that there was a quid pro quo for foreign aid to Ukraine; Ukraine had to investigate Biden and Ukraine interference in the 2016 election.
The only problem is that Taylor admitted that he had no first hand knowledge of any quid pro quo and under questioning he admitted that the Ukrainians never knew that there was any chance of their aid being held up.
But now it get's even better. Taylor said that the US Ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland told him there was quid pro quo but now Sondland is saying through his lawyer that he doesn't recall such a conversation and he's testified to Congress that there was no quid pro quo.
So the rumor that Taylor and the Democrats tried to pitch as a fact has been denied by the person cited as the source of the rumor.
Just like in the "whistleblower" case we have people who don't like Trump pretending to know something when in fact the primary sources they invoke say that nope that isn't the case.
Sadly there is a nearly unlimited supply of people in government who hate Trump and who will be willing to lie, albeit not under oath, about things they have no first hand knowledge of if it will hurt Trump.
