Trump: Nobody could have heard my voice on Sondland call

Trump sought to cast doubt on how someone could overhear a phone call he had with an ambassador, claiming that he has never been able to overhear a phone conversation that was not on speakerphone.

“I have been watching people making phone calls my entire life. My hearing is, and has been, great. Never have I been watching a person making a call, which was not on speakerphone, and been able to hear or understand a conversation. I’ve even tried, but to no avail. Try it live!” Trump tweeted Thursday.

Trump’s claim came during the testimony of a U.S. diplomat who said he overheard Trump ask Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, about the status of “investigations” during a cellphone conversation in a Kyiv, Ukraine, restaurant.

David Holmes, the counselor for political affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, claims he heard Trump ask Sondland if the Ukrainians were going to “do the investigation,” and Sondland said, “He’s going to do it.”

Yeah right. You can't help but shout most of the time. I'm sure they heard you loud and clear.

hell, i have to turn my phone volume down during calls or i have to hold the earpiece away from my head and everyone can hear the call.

Trump could have been whispering and it would have been audible to everyone at the damn table if Sondland's phone volume was high. bottom line: keeping your call contents inaudible is the responsibility of the receiver not the transmitter.
