A spokesman for Sondland has responded, saying that participating in a boycott would only harm Oregon hotel workers.
Congressional investigators are interested in Sondland because he and another diplomat had talked to Ukranian leaders about how to respond to pressure from Trump to investigate political rival and former Vice President Joe Biden.
He originally indicated he would cooperate with the impeachment inquiry, but the Trump administration blocked his testimony.

Boycotts can be very effective. I believe in them!
