Yet, so far, not a single witness has testified that the aid and White House meeting was not tied to the announcement of the investigations into Biden. Indeed, to date, we have never been given a plausible reason as to why the aid and meeting were withheld, which is why Sondland determined that "the only logical explanation" was that the aid and White House meeting was definitely tied to the announcement of the investigations into Biden.
It's not Sonland's place to infer what thoughts and motivations might be going on inside the president's head. and then attach nefarious motivations to them.
Before this is all done, someone is going to testify to what Trump's intent was. Since Trump has a big mouth I am willing to bet he yapped to someone that he is was after dirt on Biden and he is withholding aid until he gets an announcement of an investigation on Biden. Given the recent statements from Bolton, I think it will be him that testifies. Once that happens, Trump is toast.
You can take your complaint to the White House and ask them why, to this day, they have been unable to come up with any plausible reason as to why the aid was withheld (other than illegal quid pro quo), much less support such a claim with contemporaneous documents.
It’s not the White Houses job to prove anything
It’s the Dems job to prove some kind of nefarious activity took place

The issue there is not just that he inferred the President's motivations, but that he voiced those concerns to Pompeo, Mulvaney, and Pence, and was not told he was wrong. Their lack of denial speaks volumes.
SONDLAND: “President Trump never told me directly that the aid was conditioned on the meetings. The only thing we got directly from Guiliani was that the Burisma and 2016 elections were conditioned on the White House meeting. The aid was my own personal, you know, guess.”

Actually, since the White House and State Department are defying subpoenaes, the House (and American people) can infer that the subpoenaed records would support the argument that the aid was conditioned on the announcement of investigations into Biden.
