The House committees leading the impeachment inquiry hope Giuliani's Ukraine documents are as revealing as his TV appearances

But as Schiff, Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel, and Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings note in their letter, Giuliani has kind of already been doing that. “A growing public record, including your own statements, indicates that the president, you, and others appear to have pressed the Ukrainian government to pursue two politically motivated investigations,” the letter states.
The president’s personal lawyer joins an increasingly long list of Trump allies and administration officials facing subpoenas or depositions, showing that House Democrats intend to quickly pursue only the Ukraine scandal and its cover-up in the impeachment inquiry. On Monday, the House committees also scheduled depositions with three attorneys who have worked with Giuliani on the Ukraine matter: Lev Parnas, Igor Fruman, and Semyon Kislin.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has also been subpoenaed; on Monday, it was revealed that he too was on the July 25 call to Zelensky. And speaking with CBS News, Schiff said the House Intelligence Committee has “an agreement that he or she will testify,” referring to the intelligence-officer whistle-blower who broke the scandal open.
