Just less than an hour ago, President’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani has been Subpoenaed by Congress for documents pertaining to his involvement in Ukraine…
The House intelligence Committee says it wants the documents by October 15th and the subpoena letter comes with a message similar to the one they gave on Friday to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in his subpoena for documents saying:
“Your failure or refusal to comply with the subpoena, including at the director or behest of the President or the White House, shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House’s impeachment inquiry and may be used as an adverse inference against you and the President” – Reps. Elijah Cummings, Elliot Engek and Adam Schiff
The Subpoena Letter also requests Giuliani to present any text messages and other communications that indicates Trump administration officials involved in the Ukrainian deals, something Giuliani has not admitted in interviews…
Giuliani said that he had text messages that indicates that the State Department was encouraged his work in Ukraine and that he is going to use them to protect himself if and when he need them.
The subpoena announcement comes one day after Giuliani said in an interview at ABC’s “This Week,“ with George Stephanopoulos, that he would not cooperate with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff
