A Washington Post photo is gaining traction on social media for capturing the drama of President Donald Trump's impeachment hearings.

The photo shows Ambassador Gordon Sondland smirking at the camera, as a sea of photojournalists angle for a shot behind him.

One Twitter user compared it to famous photo of President Donald Trump, smiling to himself during a dinner at Mar-a-Lago.

Others came up with captions for the photo, imagining what Sondland was thinking to himself when the picture was taken.

"You're probably wondering why I paid a million dollars to be here," The Daily Show tweeted, referencing the idea that Sondland "bought" his ambassadorship.

 

Sondland is testifying before the house as part of President Trump's impeachment hearings.

He told the House panel on Wednesday that he was forced to work with the president's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to pressure the Ukrainians to conduct politically-motivated investigations in exchange for military aid and a White House visit.
