Impeachment- Round 2
So some more stuff happened this weekend. Here we go:
Why did the White House start hiding transcripts of calls? (WSJ)
Apparently the head of the DOJ asked for foreign governments to help investigate … the DOJ? (Washington Post, ABC, WashPo Analysis, CBS News) They also wanted to investigate the start of the Mueller Report, which according to the administration, exonerated the President.
Were the whistleblower rules changed? Well, Trump says yes, everyone else says no. CNN Fact check, ICIG response, Then Republican Senators’ letter asking why the forms online seemed to suggest firsthand reporting was necessary when there is no law that says this is needed.
Secretary of State Pompeo was on the Ukraine call. (ABC, AP)
Subpoenas for Pompeo and Giullani
Trump supporters on the Sunday News shows defending themselves and the president: Giuliani on Face the Nation; Stephen Miller on Chris Wallace. AP coverage of the Miller appearance here.
And in a blast from the past, Dems suggest Trump may have lied in the Mueller investigation. (Politico, DOJ argument, Committee of the Judiciary’s reply)
