BREAKING: Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf (and Ken Cucinelli) are ineligible to be serving in their current roles because they were appointed illegally, the GAO rules. drive.google.com/file/d/1BCR-Yl…
The ruling is based on the botched handoff to Wolf's predecessor, Kevin Mcaleenan, thus making Wolf's appointment also unlawful. This ruling is going to boost some legal groups making the same arguments: nationaljournal.com/s/708747/legal…
FVRA experts: @AJosephOConnell @EricColumbus @thekinane @NinaMendelson @steve_vladeck @marty_lederman @steve_vladeck @BrianneGorod
"We are referring the matter to the Inspector General of DHS for review. Any additional actions as a result of this legal decision would be up to the DHS Inspector General and the Congress," says Shirley Jones, GAO Managing Associate General Counsel
JUST IN: Reps. Thompson and Maloney, who requested the review to begin with, call GAO's decision "damning" and call for Wolf to step down
The DHS responds: "We wholeheartedly disagree with the GAO’s baseless report and plan to issue a formal response to this shortly," per Axios.

Sondland Thread: "First, Secretary Perry, Ambassador Volker and I worked with Mr. Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine matters at the express direction of the President of the United States. We did not want to work with Mr. Giuliani. Simply put, we were playing the hand we were dealt."
The suggestion that we were engaged in some sort of “irregular or rogue diplomacy is absolutely false,” says Sondland, who said that top officials at the State Department and National Security Council were deeply engaged in the policy.
💥 "Mr. Giuliani’s requests were a quid pro quo for arranging a White House visit for President Z ... Mr. Giuliani was expressing the desires of the President of the United States, and we knew that these investigations were important to the President." Absent: security aid.
