"Sondland implicates Trump, says Pence"?

This headline sent me down the garden path for a couple of seconds:

I interpreted the first couple of lines as "Pence said that Sondland implicates Trump", which is implausible enough. And then it was "Pompeo knew that Pence said that Sondland implicates Trump". But "so-and-so knew" is marginal as an attributive tag, and so for both linguistic and logical reasons I quickly realized that it's "Sondland implicates Trump in quid pro quo, and says that Pence and Pompeo knew about it".
