New FEC Records:

The day Lev Parnas & Igor Fruman's arrest became public, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., returned $5,400 to Fruman.

Wilson also refunded a $2,700 over-limit donation on New Year's Eve to Imaad Zuberi, a Trump inauguration donor prosecuted in NY & CA. @CourthouseNews
@CourthouseNews More on Zuberi here:

@CourthouseNews New FEC Records:

Two days after Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman's arrest, Congressman Andy Barr, R-Ky., donated the $2,457.68 that he received from "Furman" (a fake name, per prosecutors) to the charity Voices of Hope.

This matches Barr's public statement. docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/…

Calling his motive—to stay neutral above political fray—understandable, Senate Intel faulted Obama for not releasing more info about Russian interference in 2016.

In a minority view, Wyden faulted GOP colleagues for obscuring party’s role. @CourthouseNews courthousenews.com/neutrality-war…
Deleted and replaced a prior version of this tweet to correct grammar and more accurately state Senator Wyden’s minority view.
I know all my diligent followers already do so, but this would be a good time for all to read through the story itself—if only because the report itself is worth a read.

Loud applause greeting the opening of the doors for a press conference to begin.

He steps to the podium, his White House counsel Sekulow and Cipollone to his side and a kingly fanfare playing.
Fanfare followed by "Hail to the Chief," then extended applause.
Trump: "We've all been through a lot together, and we probably deserve that hand for all of us."

"A tremendous thing was done over the last number of months."

Then he pivots to the "Witch Hunt" rhetoric.

Scene from McConnell presser:

Q: How long is Senator Romney going to be in the doghouse?

McConnell: (laughing) We don't have any doghouses here.

Me: Well, we'll see what happens in Trump's remarks coming up.
Q: Will the Republican Party go after the Bidens after this impeachment?

McConnell says he doesn't tell the Committee chairs what to do.

(Lindsey Graham, who chairs Foreign Relations, has said yes.)
McConnell has ducked @ManuRaju's question about whether Trump's request for a foreign government to investigate the Bidens multiple times.

He ducked another reporter's followup of those questions again just now.

NEW DOCS: House Democrats just released dozens of pages of records from LEV PARNAS, including hand-written notes (on @RitzCarlton Vienna stationary) reading in part:

"* get Zalensky to Announce that the Biden case will Be Investigated." intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
@RitzCarlton Apparent discussion here about representing FIRTASH, including:
▶️“Joe/Victoria” (presumably Joe diGenova & @VicToensing)
▶️“cut deal or get dismissed”
▶️“get rid of Lenny (sic) Davis”

Also references to the oligarch owner of Burisma & the black ledger. intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
@RitzCarlton @VicToensing In newly released texts, LEV PARNAS repeatedly exchanges messages with a "ROBERT F. HYDE" about MARIE YOVANOVITCH.

Hyde repeatedly calls Yovanovitch a "bitch," & seems to suggest that he has her under surveillance at the US Embassy in Kyiv. intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

We should do a whole thread of all the photos. We can call it the “I never knew the guy, I was dead at the time!” thread. 🙄 #Parnas #Fruman #LevAndIgor #Correia #Kukushkin

NEW: We’ve obtained access to scores of banking records on Lev Parnas & Igor Fruman, the two men working with Giuliani to dig up dirt on Biden.

The records reveal more than $200K in spending across the globe as the backchannel campaign was gaining steam.

buzzfeednews.com/article/mikesa…
Parnas alone racked up nearly $20,000 in charges at Trump hotels in NYC and Washington. There was $657 spent at a Kyiv strip club. He spent lavishly despite facing soaring personal debts.

buzzfeednews.com/article/mikesa…
Some more news: An official tells us that Parnas and Fruman “will be served with subpoenas in short order” if they don’t start cooperating with the impeachment inquiry. Both were asked to turn over documents by Monday and appear for depositions this week. buzzfeednews.com/article/mikesa…

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.
