Let me know if there are any big words you need help with. I can try to translate it into 6th grade reading level if you'd like
I became increasingly concerned that our relationship with Ukraine was being fundamentally undermined by an irregular, informal channel of U.S. policy-making and by the withholding of vital security assistance for domestic political reasons.
...it was becoming clear to me that the meeting President Zelenskyy wanted was conditioned on the investigations of Burisma and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections. It was also clear that this condition was driven by the irregular policy channel I had come to understand was guided by Mr. Giuliani.
...not to approve any additional spending of security assistance for Ukraine until further notice...the directive had come from the President to the Chief of Staff to OMB.
...NSC-led interagency meetings...At every meeting, the unanimous conclusion was that the security assistance should be resumed...the Secretaries of Defense and State, the CIA Director, and the National Security Advisor sought a joint meeting with the President to convince him to release the hold...
Ambassador Sondland had connected "investigations" with an Oval Office meeting for President Zelenskyy, which so irritated Ambassador Bolton that he abruptly ended the meeting, telling...they should have nothing to do with domestic politics."
...President Zelenskyy did not want to be used as a pawn in a U.S. re-election campaign.
...President Trump and President Zelenskyy had the long-awaited phone conversation. Strangely, even though I was Chief of Mission...I received no readout of the call from the White House.
Ambassador Sondland told Mr. Yermak that the security assistance money would not come until President Zelenskyy committed to pursue the Burisma investigation.
Ambassador Sondland told me that President Trump had told him that he wants President Zelenskyy to state publicly that Ukraine will investigate Burisma and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. election....in fact, Ambassador Sondland said, "everything" was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance.
...President Trump told Ambassador Sondland that he was not asking for a "quid pro quo." But President Trump did insist that President Zelenskyy go to a microphone and say he is opening investigations of Biden and 2016 election interference, and that President Zelenskyy should want to do this himself...President Trump was adamant that President Zelenskyy, himself, had to "clear things up and do it in public." President Trump said it was not a "quid pro quo." Ambassador Sondland said that he had talked to President Zelenskyy and Mr. Yermak and told them that, although this was not a quid pro quo, if President Zelenskyy did not "clear things up" in public, we would be at a "stalemate." I understood a "stalemate" to mean that Ukraine would not receive the much-needed military assistance.
...I also said, "I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign." Ambassador Sondland responded about five hours later that I was "incorrect about President Trump's intentions. The President had been crystal clear no quid pro quo's of any kind." Before these text messages, during our call...Sondland tried to explain to me that President Trump is a businessman. When a businessman is about to sign a check to someone who owes him something, he said, the businessman asks that person to pay up before signing the check. Ambassador Volker used the same terms several days later...
