Reports tonight indicate at least part of the intelligence whistleblower allegation relates to Ukraine. We've been investigating Trump administration contacts with the Ukrainian government, and we have multiple active FOIA requests demanding answers: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
Rudy Giuliani has reportedly been working to get the Ukrainian government to investigate Trump's perceived opponents. The public needs to see any emails sent by Trump officials at the State Department supporting or about Giuliani's actions. americanoversight.org/document/foia-…
Guess we can take "reportedly" out of the previous tweet. It's now even more vital that the public sees the full story of what exactly happened with Giuliani, Ukraine, and the Trump administration.
Update: We just asked the State Department to expedite the release of the documents we requested detailing Rudy Giuliani's activities in Ukraine. This is too urgent to allow these records stay hidden from the public.

NEW Lawsuit: We just sued the State Department for Giuliani-Ukraine documents -- including Giuliani's communications with Secretary Pompeo or former Ukraine special representative Kurt Volker. americanoversight.org/were-suing-the…
This wasn't just one phone call or Rudy Giuliani acting on his own. This was a months-long, effort across multiple federal departments that hijacked American policy to benefit Trump's campaign, and the public needs to know who else was involved. americanoversight.org/were-suing-the…
The public needs to know who else was involved in President Trump's effort to pressure Ukraine. We sued the State Department today to release communications with Giuliani or communications about other efforts to push a Biden investigations. americanoversight.org/were-suing-the…

The president's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, has said that he would need to consult with Trump before testifying before Congress because of attorney-client privilege — but privilege won't protect Guiliani's communications with foreign governments: lawfareblog.com/giuliani-canno…
The privilege also does not apply where Giuliani was not acting in his capacity as a lawyer providing legal advice, such as where the president directed him to undertake non-legal activities on the president's behalf. 2/6
In any event, it is Congress' position that the attorney-client privilege does not afford protection against compelled congressional testimony. A committee that calls Giuliani for testimony can simply direct him to answer and can hold him in contempt if he doesn't comply. 3/6

NEW: Rudy Giuliani said he was working with Trump’s State Department on Ukraine. His main contact, Kurt Volker, just quit. We want Volker's texts with Giuliani to be released - so we sent a letter to State to make sure no records are lost or destroyed: americanoversight.org/document/lette…
When a senior official leaves the State Department, they need to go through a detailed process to make sure they leave behind all their official papers. Like texts. Or emails. archives.gov/files/press/pr…
Let’s just say the State Department should be pretty aware of how important it is to make sure former officials don’t walk away with electronic messages. 😐

THREAD

Today, the Ohio Democratic Party released an updated timeline of @senrobportman 's intense involvement in the Ukraine crisis that is now the center of the impeachment inquiry.
@senrobportman 2/30

The bottom line is that as chair of the Ukraine Caucus, Portman didn’t only have a front row seat to the entire ordeal — it appears that he was directly engaged with all sides of what was a deeply problematic conversation as that conversation occurred.
@senrobportman 3/30

Portman owes Ohioans and all Americans a full and transparent account of what he knew, when he knew it and what steps he took once it became clear what Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani were up to.

Please amplify this short thread so media and Dem leadership see it. Can’t look at #Ukraine as a one-off. Trump has basically reduced the US Government to a family business with loyal kleptocrats. Giuliani not the only problem. Kushner too is freelancing against US interests 1/
#WhistleblowerComplaint says Ukraine is not first instance of hiding communications. We already know the Saudi interactions kept US embassy officials out of the loop and even used MBS’ security instead of ours. No ears to listen. What’sApp for texts 2/
Crime bosses use family to (usually) protect each other. Fixers like #Giuliani and #MichaelCohen play roles. But if you want to corrupt the entire government apparatus, you need apparatchiks who will play along. These people might not get confirmed. Voilà - “acting” appointees 3/

#Ukraine and Republic of #Georgia changed #rulesoforigin in their trade agreement. They replaced the existing ones with rules identical to those used in Europe’s origin cumulation zone known as the Pan–Euro–Med (PEM) /1

ukrinform.net/rubric-economy…
PEM allows for cumulation of originating materials between countries within the zone. Meaning firms can treat materials from PEM members as their own when exporting to other PEM members (conditions apply). This change will allow the Ukraine/Georgia #FTA to work under PEM /2
Once ratified, "Ukrainian producers will be able to import raw materials and components from Georgia, recycle them in Ukraine and export them, for example, to Germany with Ukrainian certificates of origin with zero or preferential duty rates" /3

Trump Administration "is not considering supporting a referendum in the eastern Ukraine. The Minsk Agreements are the process for resolving the conflict in the Donbas, and these agreements do not include any option for referendum," says NSC Spokesman, Garrett Marquis.
"Furthermore, to organize a so-called referendum in a part of Ukraine which is not under government control would have no legitimacy," adds NSC spokesman.
On a related note, @DeptofDefense is providing $200 million to #Ukraine "in security cooperation funds for additional training, equipment and advisory efforts to build the defensive capacity of Ukraine’s forces." defense.gov/News/News-Rele…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
