Impeachment Investigation Confirms Trump Spoke With Ambassador About A$AP Rocky’s Arrest: Report – Spin

The Trump impeachment inquiry is officially underway, and amid all the livetweets and rambling non-questions, another figure caught in the dregs of the Trump administration finally made an appearance in the testimony. According to a New York Times report, Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky was mentioned during the questioning of David Holmes, the State Department official who worked at the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, on Friday, November 15.

Per the Times report, Holmes was asked to confirm that he overheard a phone call between Trump and European Union ambassador Gordon Sondland in which they discussed the rapper’s imprisonment. While most of their conversation focused whether or not the Ukrainian government would investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden for his business relationships in Ukraine, Holmes confirmed that Trump and Sondland discussed A$AP Rocky’s arrest, with Sondland reportedly saying that the rapper “should have pled guilty” to the assault charges he faced this summer.
