Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT says he asked Zelensky on Friday if he was feeling pressure from Rudy, whose Ukraine efforts are ongoing.

Murphy says Zelensky told him “he has always stayed clear of Giuliani and intends to keep it that way.”

@ChrisMurphyCT From Murphy’s Medium post:

“As an actor, I always dreamed of becoming famous in America,” he tells us, breaking away from Ukrainian and speaking to us in English. “And now I’m famous in America. But not the way I wanted!”

NEW: Mitt Romney could derail a Senate subpoena for records related to Hunter Biden and Burisma, hinting today he could vote against it next week. One GOP “no” vote in committee means the subpoena fails.

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
“There’s no question the appearance is not good,” Romney said when asked about Trump’s intention to use it against Biden in the general election.

“I would prefer that investigations are done by an independent, nonpolitical body.”

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
Rob Portman is also a possible swing vote. But a source familiar with the matter says he’s leaning toward supporting the subpoena. Johnson has told colleagues that his effort is aimed simply at gathering information.

After a scathing McConnell speech haranguing Schumer for his comments yesterday, Schumer says: “I should not have used the words I used yesterday. They did not come out the way I intended to.”

“I’m from Brooklyn. We use strong language.”

Says he wasn’t making a threat.
McConnell didn’t hold back —

“As long as this majority holds the gavel, we will never let the minority leader’s dangerous views become policy,” McConnell said. “This majority will ensure the only casualties of this recklessness are the reputations of those who engage in it.”
After doubling down, Schumer walks back his comments about Gorsuch and Kavanaugh that prompted a rare rebuke from John Roberts — and McConnell piles on.

New: Senate Republicans offer tepid praise for Ratcliffe, with none ruling out supporting him. Instead, they’re just happy Trump intends to nominate a permanent replacement. And for that reason, round two could be easier for Ratcliffe.

w/ @marianne_levine
politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
@marianne_levine ... and in many ways, a repeat of what we saw last year:

Mitt Romney: “I know very little about Congressman Ratcliffe. I will be looking into his background and record.”

Lamar Alexander: “I don’t know him, so I don’t have an opinion on that yet.”

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
@marianne_levine Rubio also suggests Grenell makes it easier for Ratcliffe’s nom: “He still holds the post in Germany, which eventually he either has to get back to or we’re going to have to put somebody else. You can’t have that post vacant. And you can’t do both jobs.” politico.com/news/2020/03/0…

🚨BREAKING: Gordon Sondland intends to testify that the text he wrote denying a quid pro quo with #Ukraine was relayed to him directly by @realDonaldTrump in a call: “It’s only true that the president said it, not that it was the truth.”🔥

#Ukrainegate
washingtonpost.com/world/national…
After acting ambassador to #Ukraine Bill Taylor texted Sondland/ “I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign,” Sondland called @realDonaldTrump, who told Sondland he didn’t “want a quid pro quo…didn’t want anything from #Ukraine.”🔥
Sondland appears to be throwing TRUMP under the bus, basically saying that he took Trump at his word that there wasn’t a quid pro quo with #Ukraine.🧐

‼️Rudy Giuliani’s Year of Living Dangerously

Giuliani is busy effecting the Trump Adm’s shadow anti EU, anti NATO foreign policy, which ...

Wait for it...

Aligns with the Kremlin’s interests.
2018: Giuliani appeared in the former Soviet republic of Armenia, which has close trade ties with Russia. He was invited by Ara Abramyan, an Armenian businessman who lives in Russia.
propublica.org/article/trump-…
🔑Abramyan once helped reconstruct the Kremlin and also received a medal for “merit to the fatherland” from President Vladimir Putin of Russia.

🔑On a local TV news show, Abramyan implied that he expected Giuliani to carry a message for him to Trump.

RUDY'S UKRAINE INVESTIGATOR: LEV PARNAS, the Ukrainian-born American businessman who worked with @RudyGiuliani to get damaging info about TRUMP rivals in Ukraine, was paid $22,500 by TRUMP-linked lobbyist BRIAN BALLARD on 9/21/18, @lachlan reveals. thedailybeast.com/trumpworld-lob… 1/
@RudyGiuliani @lachlan BALLARD's firm tells me the $22,500 check was for a referral of business from Parnas unrelated to Ukraine, RUDY GIULIANI or energy.
Ballard spox @RajShah84: "This transaction has nothing to do whatsoever with Mr. Parnas's reported efforts related to Ukraine & @RudyGiuliani" 2/
@RudyGiuliani @lachlan @RajShah84 RUDY GIULIANI's Ukraine efforts started mos. after this LEV PARNAS payment, making it unlikely the two are related.
*Rudy's Ukraine efforts also started mos. after we began researching Hunter Biden's work, but that hasn't stopped false accusations that Rudy planted our story. 3/

Brilliant EG points out:

BEFORE THE INAUGURATION: FBI, NSA, FinCen, DNI, & DOJ opened probes into possible covert Kremlin aid to Trump

In 2016 & 2017 Deutsche Bank Staff Saw Suspicious Activity in Trump & Kushner accts & prepped SARS & reported same to DB execs.
💰Washing💰

Deutsche Bank ignored staff concerns & failed to file the SARS with FINCEN, which reflects the bank’s lax approach to 💰💦 laws

Some of the transactions involved 💰 flowing back & forth w/ overseas entities or individuals, which bank employees considered suspicious
💰Washing💰

And said it was part of a pattern of the bank’s execs rejecting valid reports to protect relationships with lucrative clients.

Trump Org currently has “no operating accounts with DB.” She did not respond when asked if other Trump entities had accounts.
