Jay Leno makes a cameo in President Trump's Ukraine scandal

Twitter

Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, has emerged as a key figure in Trump's scandal. The Washington Post reports he was put in charge of allegedly shaking down Ukraine in the Joe Biden probe. Sondland also claims to be a personal friend of Jay Leno. In June, Leno was brought in to perform his standup act in Brussels at a private dinner hosted by Sondland. Leno sat at a table with new Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. The former Tonight Show host "delivered a standup routine whose U.S.-focused patter fell flat on the ears of European officials," reports The Post. UPDATE: Here's a photo of Leno at the June 4 dinner sitting next to Secretary Energy Rick Perry.
