Sondland says the White House has confirmed to him the record of his July 26 call with Trump. Trump denied that the call ever happened.
Sondland: “The July 26 call did not strike me as significant at the time. Actually, I would have been more surprised if President Trump had not mentioned investigations, particularly given what we were hearing from Mr. Giuliani about the president’s concerns.”
But, Sondland adds: “I have no recollection of discussing Vice President Biden or his son on that call or after the call ended.”

BREAKING: White House will *not* participate in Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing, WH Counsel Pat Cipollone tells Jerry Nadler.

Story TK
Key line from Cipollone’s letter, which was just transmitted to the Judiciary Committee:
Cipollone accuses Nadler of deliberately scheduling Wednesday’s hearing while Trump is at a NATO summit in London. He also says Dems are withholding information about who will testify & other details.

Whoa. Ex-Bolton deputy Charles Kupperman wants to add House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving as a defendant in his lawsuit.

Irving is the one who would carry out “inherent contempt”—the rarely-used authority to jail & fine witnesses who defy congressional subpoenas.
This is really something.

Kupperman’s new motion says he is at “imminent and substantial risk” of being held in inherent contempt.

Because the SAA enforces that, Kupperman wants to add him as a defendant.
To be clear: There are no indications that House Dems are preparing to revive their inherent contempt authority—against Kupperman or anyone else.

If Judge Leon says Kupperman can’t sue the House, though, the House could **theoretically** use inherent contempt against Kupperman.

JUST IN: House Judiciary files motion opposing a stay in the McGahn case, saying “the delay from such a stay would impair the House’s ongoing impeachment inquiry.”
MORE: “Even if evidence from McGahn is not
obtained before the House has completed its investigation, there is still an urgent need for that evidence because it could potentially be used if there is an impeachment trial in the Senate.”
This new filing from the House tonight makes clear that Dems intend to use Mueller/obstruction in some way, shape or form in the impeachment process.

“Granting a stay could thwart the committee’s ability to conduct an impeachment inquiry based on all of the relevant evidence...”

#Sondland says it all: We were playing the hand we were dealt. We didn't want to work w Giuliani. But WE FOLLOWED THE PRESIDENT'S ORDERS. At the time we didn't think we were engaging in improper behavior. Giuliani's requests were a quid pro quo for WH visit. #ImpeachmentHearings
@HouseIntel #Sondland: I opposed withholding security aid to Ukraine. I shared my concerns of the potential quid pro quo w/ @SenRonJohnson. NSC BOLTON, Hill, Morrison all knew what we were doing. State Dept POMPEO knew & approved of all our activities, as late as Sept. #ImpeachmentHearings
@HouseIntel @SenRonJohnson #Sondland names many WH & State officials including #Mulvaney, #Pompeo… "A lot senior officials" knew. July 19 email informed everyone. "Everyone was in the loop." He slams White House & the State Dept for refusing to provide notes, call records & documents. #ImpeachmentHearings

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?
