Trump fires two impeachment witnesses
US President Donald Trump has dismissed two senior officials who testified against him at his impeachment trial.
The US envoy to the EU, Gordon Sondland, said he "was advised today that the president intends to recall me effective immediately".
Just hours earlier, Lt Col Alexander Vindman, a top expert on Ukraine, was escorted from the White House.
Trump is said to desire a staff shake-up after senators cleared him in the impeachment case on Wednesday.
