Zel expressed to Holmes and others that Trump had raised 3x "very sensitive issues" and he wanted to follow-up on this in person with him.

Sondland is pretty much exactly the type of slime ball you'd expect to cozy up to Trump and get elevated to a position of power.

Holmes: I asked Sondland if it was true that the president doesn't GAF about Ukraine. Sondland said that Trump only GAF about stuff that benefits him personally. "Like the Biden investigation, that Mr Giuliani was pushing"
