ceo of the natural gas company. one of the fourth people they spoke to associated with the company or are trying to speak with. we re seeing prosecutors focus in on this company. here s why. it s because the rudy giuliani associates lev parnas and igor fruman have approached the executive hoping to do business with him. saying maybe we should get rid of the ceo. looking to see what was behind that. these men were trying to get a business deal going. they wanted some change at the company and they were working at the same time with rudy giuliani. so that has raised a lot of questions. what was rudy giuliani s involvement with this, if any, now prosecutors are starting to dig into this and to ask questions. rudy giuliani s lawyer says he has had no financial interest in the company. this gas company they were trying to get going. but it definitely raises questions and in a court hearing on monday, prosecutors said they were likely to bring a superseding indictment, that means additional
broadcast. the report also makes a case that the president obstructed the inquiry itself, both potentially impeachable offenses, something the judiciary committee takes up in public hearings tomorrow. right now we re joined by intelligence committee member sean patrick maloney, democrat of new york. these phone records that show ranking member devin nunes speaking with indicted giuliani associate lev parnas several times, and i m going to be speaking with chairman schiff in just a few minutes, what was your reaction to those calls? i mean, do you see congressman nunes as a participant in all of this? should he have somehow recused himself? well, look, i think the important thing is that we stay focused on the president s conduct and the president s misconduct. i think we have known for some time that there was an organized effort to smear our ambassador marie yovanovitch, and that part of that involved planting stories in right wing outlets and seeding this false narrative around ukr

lev parnas. the call records, which, again, we didn t know about until this afternoon, are important because they anchor the time line at certain key points, including the smear campaign against marie yovanovitch. records cited in the report show that in the 48 hours before a march 20th opinion piece by solomon attacking the ambassador, solomon and parnas spoke at least half a dozen times as well again for 11 minutes on the 20th. shortly thereafter, president trump plugged that story in a tweet. rudy giuliani also turnsz up i early may as plans to a dirt gathering trip to ukraine became known. phone records show him speaking on may 8th to someone in the white house, also to solomon, parnas and a staffer per congressman nunes. that evening he went on fox to peddle the biden smear. the big story, it s a
