Emails show that Sondland kept several Trump administration officials, including Mulvaney and Perry, apprised of his Trump-directed effort to extort Ukraine to open investigations that Trump later discussed in his Jul call to Zelensky.
by @rebeccaballhaus on.wsj.com/32RXZKF
@rebeccaballhaus On July 19, a day before Trump was initially scheduled to speak to Zelensky, Sondland emailed a group of admin officials to say that Zelensky was prepared to assure Trump he'd open investigations.

Mulvaney replied: “I asked NSC to set it up for tomorrow.”

Morrison: 5 minutes after the Pence-Zelensky Warsaw meeting, Sondland [who's being directed by Trump] spoke with Ukrainian official Yermak and told him that an announcement of investigations by the prosecutor general would be “sufficient” to release the aid –– which is BRIBERY.
In a Sep 7 call, several days after their discussion in Warsaw, Sondland told Morrison he'd just spoken with Trump and Trump said that "Zelensky [not the prosecutor general] must announce the opening of the investigations and he should want to do it."
Morrison testified that former NSA John Bolton met privately with Trump in Aug to try and convince him to release the $400M in frozen Ukraine military aid.

Bolton emerged from the meeting and simply said that Trump was "not yet ready" to release the money.axios.com/john-bolton-tr…

SCOOP: After a private White House meeting with Trump in Dec 2018, Giuliani associate Lev Parnas said Trump tasked he and Fruman with a "a secret mission" to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden.
by @VickyPJWard #Maddow cnn.it/2KsF7f3
@VickyPJWard Parnas understood that Giuliani would issue Trump's directives and he and Fruman would dig up dirt in Ukraine.

Parnas' lawyer: "Parnas at all times believed he was acting only on behalf of [Trump], as directed by his personal attorney, Giuliani."
#Maddow
@VickyPJWard In the days following the meeting, Parnas insinuated to two people that he clearly believed he’d been given a special assignment by the President—like some sort of “James Bond mission,” according to one of the people.

Mulvaney emerges as a key facilitator of the campaign to pressure Ukraine - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
In late May, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney organized a meeting that stripped control of the country’s relationship with Ukraine from those who had the most expertise at the National Security Council and the State Department.
Instead, Mulvaney put an unlikely trio in charge of managing the U.S.-Ukraine account amid worrisome signs of a new priority, congressional officials said Tuesday: pressuring the fledgling government in Kiev to deliver material that would be politically valuable to Trump.

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
