Jeanine Pirro claimed Gordon Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union who testified during the impeachment hearings, is a 'deep state bureaucrat.'
She claimed his testimony should be discounted because his"arrogance" and"inappropriate smirking" indicate that he"is not a fan of the president."
She added:"His testimony is not only canceled by the facts, but by his demeanor, his arrogance and his inappropriate smirking making it clear he, like many deep state bureaucrats, is not a fan of the president."Sondland was an hotelier who donated at least $1 million to Trump's presidential inaugural committee in 2017—before Trump nominated him as the U.S. ambassador to the European Union last year.
