Have to do a hit and run on this bit of breaking news (breaking news...the news is broke!) from ABC News...I was headed out of the door when this crossed my twitter feed. (Was being the operative word...I hate to do hit and runs...so I can go where I need to go a little later...let me add a little color to this! CK 540 CST.)
The House Intelligence Committee is in possession of audio and video recordings and photographs provided to the committee by Lev Parnas, an associate of President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who reportedly played a key role in assisting him in his efforts to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and Ukraine, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
The material submitted to the committee includes audio, video and photos that include Giuliani and Trump. It was unclear what the content depicts and the committees only began accessing the material last week.
"We have subpoenaed Mr. Parnas and Mr. [Igor] Fruman for their records. We would like them to fully comply with those subpoenas," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff told CNN Sunday, with a committee spokesperson adding they would not elaborate beyond the chairman's comments.
An attorney for Parnas, Joseph A. Bondy, also declined to comment, directing ABC News to a statement released earlier in the day Sunday reading in part, "Mr. Parnas has vociferously and publicly asserted his wish to comply with his previously issued subpoena and to provide the House Intelligence Committee with truthful and important information that is in furtherance of justice, not to obstruct it."
ABC News reporting indicates that Parnas is complying, to an extent, with some of the subpoena requests of the House Intelligence Committee. Some of the documents also seem to be in the possession of investigators the Southern District of New York and have not been turned over to Intel.
Will we be getting more testimony in the impeachment investigation after all?
