Records show many calls between White House, Giuliani

WASHINGTON - Phone call records disclosed in the House Intelligence Committee's impeachment inquiry report released on Tuesday show extensive contact between President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Mr Rudy Giuliani, and the White House during key moments of the Ukraine saga.

During a news conference on Tuesday, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Mr Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, said"the phone records show that there was considerable coordination among the parties, including the White House". The suggestion is that"-1" might be a phone belonging to Mr Trump, though the report does not state that clearly.He noted a similar"-1" number surfaced in Roger Stone's trial for a"number that did indicate the President".The records show that Mr Giuliani made several calls to the White House on April 24, the same day that US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was summoned to Washington and told that she had lost Mr Trump's confidence.

In the weeks leading up to Mr Biden's April 25 announcement that he would seek the presidency, the logs show contacts between Mr Giuliani, Parnas and Mr John Solomon, then a conservative columnist for the Hill newspaper. The call records also show a number of phone calls between Mr Nunes and Mr Giuliani and between Mr Nunes and Parnas earlier this year.

"Any reporting to the contrary, and any testimony provided to Congress, is simply false, and any current or former staff who suggest I have raised or discussed Ukraine matters with President Trump, are similarly misinformed or spreading outright falsehoods."
