The records—which AT&T provided to the committee—suggest Nunes was actively involved in the smear campaign against Marie Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine
had actively participated in the effort to dig up dirt onas “fake” and “demonstrably false.” But he didn’t deny the allegations themselves. Instead, he dodged. “I really want to answer all of these questions,” Nunes, who is, remarkably, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News hostbefore decidedly not answering questions about his involvement in the Ukraine scandal engulfingShortly after 2 p.m.
The phone records, according to the report, reveal five phone calls on April 10 between Nunes and Giuliani, who was actively promoting Solomon’s articles on social media and in conservative media. Nunes also had multiple contacts with Parnas, who like Giuliani was pushing the false allegations against Yovanovitch and the Bidens. Nunes and Parnas exchanged four calls ranging in duration from zero seconds to almost nine minutes on April 12.
As the top Republican on the House committee leading the impeachment inquiry, Nunes’s interactions with this rogues’ gallery of characters ensnared in the Ukraine scandal certainly raises questions. Then there’s the outstanding question as to whether Nunes also met withformerly Ukraine’s top prosecutor, late last year in Vienna, as Parnas’s lawyer has claimed. Of course this wouldn’t be the first time Nunes’s conduct amid investigations has come under scrutiny.
Given Tuesday’s revelations, it’s hard to imagine a scenario in which Nunes can dodge another ethics investigation, especially considering that some Democrats had floated the idea even before the report was published.
