In her written (Nov 5) deposition ambassador Yovanovitch related the following meeting with Sondland, in which Sondland asked her to "go big or go home":

Yovanovitch said she raised concerns about the Trump administration’s actions in Ukraine and the reports in U.S. media against her with Gordon Sondland, the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union. In response, he encouraged her to tweet her support for Trump on social media.

 

“He said, ‘You know, you need to go big or go home,’” she recalled. ”’You need to, you know, tweet out there that you support the president.”

 

It was advice, she said, as a nonpartisan ambassador, “I did not see how I could implement.”

Did Sondland subsequently confirm having made this request or suggestion that Yovanovitch should start tweeting in support of Trump?
