"Unprecedented" is a word that has been used a lot in the past few years — including this week. See our latest roundup: americanoversight.org/news-roundup-t…
House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff described the acting director of national intelligence's refusal to share a "potentially explosive" whistleblower complaint with Congress as "unprecedented." washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
Schiff issued a subpoena to Robert Maguire, the acting director, to compel the release of the complaint, which reportedly involved Trump’s communications with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenky. Maguire refused to comply: americanoversight.org/news-roundup-t…
We know that the president's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, has been publicly pushing Ukraine to investigate the son of former vice president and Trump’s potential election opponent Joe Biden. But the contents of the complaint are still unknown: americanoversight.org/news-roundup-t…

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. 😐

Catching up on POTUS after a nice, news-free weekend?

Here’s where we are (1/x):

1. Trump urged the Ukrainian President to investigate a Democratic opponent’s son "about eight times" in a July phone call, according to @WSJ.

wsj.com/articles/trump…
2. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told CNN on Sunday that if Trump did pressure Ukraine into investigating a political opponent, impeachment could be appropriate.
House Intelligence committee chair Adam Schiff (D)

"This would be, I think, the most profound violation of the presidential oath of office certainly during this presidency, which says a lot, but perhaps during just about any presidency.”

One day after Trump's SOTU threat condemning"ridiculous investigations," House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff announces broad investigation "beyond Russia" & into whether Trump's financial interests are driving his & his administration's actions. cnn.com/2019/02/06/pol…
A sullen Trump responds to House resuming investigation w/ attack on Chair Schiff plus some projection: "He has no basis to do that. He's just a political hack trying to build a name for himself. That's what they do. It's called presidential harassment" (says Trump the birther)
Under Dem control, House Intel Cmte to "fulfill its responsibility to provide the American people with a comprehensive accounting of what happened, and what the US must do to protect itself from future interference and malign influence operations" intelligence.house.gov/news/documents… #Maddow
