"SNIP......

Washington Post: “Sondland’s recollection of a phone conversation that he said took place on Sept. 9 has emerged as a centerpiece of Trump’s defense as House Democrats argue in an impeachment inquiry that he abused his office to pressure Ukraine to investigate Democrats.”

“However, no other witness testimony or documents have emerged that corroborate Sondland’s description of a call that day.”

“Trump himself, in describing the conversation, has referred only to the ambassador’s account of the call, which — based on Sondland’s activities — would have occurred before dawn in Washington. And the White House has not located a record in its switchboard logs of a call between Trump and Sondland on Sept. 9, according to an administration official who, like others in this report.”

Even if some low level person found a record of the call, no one should expect that higher ups and Trump would let it go public, and the underling would have one of two choices, shut up or be destroyed.

Unsecured cell phone, as he is known to do, then there wouldn't be a record of it through the WH switchboard. Remember, Sondland was said to had a direct line to Spanky. Which would mean his cell number.

there really wasn't a call in the first place. The call they made was to verify that they had the same script regarding the fake call.
