Schiff says phone records show Nunes may have been ‘complicit’ in Ukraine affair by jonward11
“It is, I think, deeply concerning that at a time when the president of the United States was using the power of his office to dig up dirt on a political rival that there may be evidence that there were members of Congress complicit in that activity,” said Schiff, the California Democrat who led the House impeachment inquiry investigation.
In the report, the Intelligence Committee divulged new details about a series of phone calls in early April among a handful of individuals, including Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer; Lev Parnas, an associate of Giuliani’s who has been indicted for campaign finance violations related to a Trump super PAC; conservative author John Solomon; and Nunes.
Yovanovitch called the accusations against her “baseless” in her appearance before the Intelligence Committee and asked “how is it that foreign corrupt interests could manipulate our government?” The Intelligence Committee impeachment report paints Parnas as a intermediary between Solomon and various contacts in or around the Trump administration, such as Giuliani and even the president himself.
But the impeachment report indicates that the phone records also show this loose crew of associates passing information along to get the Biden story into Solomon’s articles and then onto Fox News. Yovanovitch was fired April 23. Schiff said the phone records were “consistent with a lot of coordination of this scheme” to oust Yovanovitch.
