House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said in an interview broadcast Sunday night he plans to subpoena President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani for documents tied to the Ukraine scandal.
"We’re going to need evidence from Rudy Giuliani," Schiff told "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley. "And it’s our intention as soon as first thing next week to subpoena him for documents. And there may very well come a time where we want to hear from him directly."
Schiff's remarks come after he explicitly left the door open in an earlier interview on Sunday to having Giuliani to appear before his panel. "I don't want to commit myself to that at this point," he told NBC's "Meet the Press." "We certainly have to do a lot of work to see what Giuliani has been doing in Ukraine."

Good luck with that.

Next week? Aren’t they off for two?
Rudy can exert lawyer-client privilege as well as executive privilege via President Trump.
Executive privilege.
Like with a cloth???
FUDNC
They are on his website open to anyone.
“what difference does it make at this time anyhow?”
“investigations never fed a starving child”
I think it can only be one or the other. It’s lawyer-client privilege, since he’s President Trump’s personal attorney. It’s executive privilege if he is an executive branch employee.
they never expected POTUS to release the transcript.
And because he did, everything that follows from the RATS is doomed to failure.
But that is the 30,000 ft view and cannot be appreciated in the weeds.
The DEMS were counting on dragging obstruction claims, if not a SCOTUS ruling like with the Nixon tapes.
Optics foiled.
This is a very bad move on Schiff’s part. He doesn’t know what other documents may be out there, and if they are damaging to Biden or the DNC he’s likely to find them released in public before he ever gets a chance to see them himself.
Wouldn’t that be great!!...cackle cackle
Maybe Republicans in the Senate Intelligence committee should start hearings on the origin and validity of the whistle blower’s complaint.
little man compensating with a big subpoena.
He must be joking. It’s not only executive privilege it.s attorney-client privilege. Go f yourself you bug eyed pimp.
President Trump punked them by releasing the “transcript.” They fully intended to ride their outlandish lies about that phone conversation for weeks, but he called their bluff and made them look like the @assholes they are.
No. Executive privilege belongs to Trump and no one else. He needs to assert it, and it extends to information or advice provided to him personally. There is no executive privilege for acts of the agencies.
That bunch of RINOs couldn't start a charcoal grill on the 4th of July.
