A United States ambassador nominated by President Donald Trump who provided key testimony in his impeachment hearings was accused of sexual misconduct by three women.
Gordon Sondland, the US envoy to the European Union, denied the allegations, with his lawyer alleging that the accusers were trying to taint his credibility in the inquiry. The Portland Monthly published named accounts by three women who said that Sondland, a wealthy hotel owner from Seattle, retaliated against them professionally after they rejected him sexually.
One of the women, Jana Solis, said she met Sondland in 2008 when she was seeking work in her position as a safety expert for hotels.
She said Sondland met her for lunch and offered her a job as “my new hotel chick” before slapping her rear.
She said Sondland later invited her to his Portland home to evaluate his personal art collection – which included a picture of himself with then-President George W Bush – and that he exposed himself in the pool house.
