NEWS: Trump's EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland will tell Congress on Thursday that he thought Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was “great” and that he has nothing negative to say about her performance as ambassador to Ukraine, despite her removal from the job by Trump. - @JoshNBCNews
NEWS: Sondland will also testify that after he attended Zelensky’s inauguration in May, he met with Trump, Rick Perry and Kurt Volker in the Oval Office. Trump told them that any in-person meeting between Trump and Zelensky would have to be approved by Giuliani. - @JoshNBCNews
NEWS: Sondland will testify that it was only later that he became aware that a public commitment by Ukraine’s new government to address corruption – including Burisma Holdings – was a prerequisite for a Trump-Zelenskiy meeting. -@JoshNBCNews

NEWS: Correspondence between Fiona Hill’s lawyers and White House Deputy Counsel Michael Purpura obtained by @JoshNBCNews show that the White House tried to limit what Fiona Hill could say today to Congress by raising the issue of executive privilege.
The WH did not try to block her from testifying, but told Hill’s lawyers that 4 areas potentially fall under exec. privilege:
Direct communications with the president
Diplomatic communications
Meetings with other heads of state
Staffing POTUS on calls with foreign heads of state
Hill’s lawyers wrote back to the White House, making a legal argument that executive privilege disappears when there’s reason to believe there was government misconduct. - @JoshNBCNews

NEWS: A person with knowledge of the situation confirms to NBC that Gordon Sondland spoke by phone with Pres. Trump on Sept. 9 before responding to acting Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor’s text about it being “crazy” to link Ukraine assistance to help with a political campaign.
NBC: U.S. officials and others with knowledge of their relationship also say that Sondland is part of a small cadre of ambassadors who enjoy direct and frequent access to Trump. They say the two speak frequently by phone and have spoken extensively about Ukraine in the past.
NBC: Volker, Sondland & diplomat Bill Taylor used WhatsApp in addition to regular text messages to communicate about Ukraine, according to multiple sources. The use of WhatsApp has raised questions about problems it poses for complying with federal record-keeping requirements.

EXCLUSIVE from @JuliaEAinsley and me: President Trump has for months now urged his administration to reinstate large-scale separation of migrant families crossing the border, according to three U.S. officials with knowledge of meetings at the White House.
Kirstjen Nielsen resisted, setting her at odds with the president. According to 2 of the sources, Nielsen told Trump that federal court orders prohibited DHS from reinstating the policy & that he would be reversing his own executive order from June that ended family separation.
Trump has been pushing this policy since January, the sources said.

A senior administation official says they believe Trump is convinced that family separation has been the most effective policy at deterring large numbers of asylum seekers.
