BREAKING: House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel says Bolton told him on a Sept. 23 call that “the committee look into the recall of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch” and “strongly implied that something improper had occurred around her removal as our top diplomat in Kyiv.”
The timing of this is obviously quite curious — but if true, it shows that Bolton made at least some effort to inform Congress about the Ukraine issues.

Large Capitol Police presence on the 2nd floor of the Rayburn building, where Capitol Police is investigating a “suspicious substance” near Adam Schiff’s office.
Capitol Police officers are now ordering reporters farther away from the scene — but not answering questions about whether there is a threat to the general public or giving any other reason.
This is as close as they’re letting us get.

Romney is choking up as he begins his speech on impeachment. He calls this “the most difficult decision I have ever faced.”
“The president would never have done what he did” if their last names weren’t Biden, Romney says.
Romney says Trump committed a “flagrant assault on our electoral rights, on our national security, and our fundamental values.”

House Foreign Affairs Committee
@HouseForeign
CHAIRMAN @RepEliotEngel ON HIS CALL WITH JOHN BOLTON:

"President Trump is wrong that John Bolton didn’t say anything about the Trump-Ukraine Scandal at the time the President fired him. He said something to me."
"After Amb Bolton’s departure as national security advisor, my staff reached out to him at my request. I’ve known Amb Bolton for years; we have a cordial & respectful relationship & I wanted to thank him for his service. I also wanted to ask if he would talk to @HouseForeign."
"He & I spoke by telephone on Sept 23. On that call, Ambassador Bolton suggested to me—unprompted—that the committee look into the recall of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. He strongly implied that something improper had occurred around her removal as our top diplomat in Kyiv."

New - Tim Morrison told lawmakers Thursday he was concerned call transcript between Trump and Zelensky would leak and could have adverse ramifications.

Morrison was involved with discussions after the call about how to handle transcript, sources said. cnn.com/politics/live-…
Morrison has so far corroborated testimony by Bill Taylor, the top US diplomat in Ukraine, about interactions the two had regarding the president’s efforts to press for investigations, but he did deviate on some details, such as the location of an interaction, sources said.
Morrison has also been offering his opinion about what he views as right and wrong and believes the National Security Council process in regards to Ukraine was legally sound.
