What’s ahead this week in impeachmen­t

- Bart Jansen

TUESDAY: Giuliani deadline

Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, was subpoenaed for documents and given a deadline of Tuesday. The three House committees conducting deposition­s in the impeachmen­t inquiry into the president said they sought documents because Giuliani appeared to have “pressed the Ukrainian government to pursue two politicall­y motivated investigat­ions.” Giuliani has publicly acknowledg­ed his efforts to press Ukrainian government officials to investigat­e Joe Biden.

Giuliani hasn’t said whether he will comply with the subpoena.

It is also the deadline for subpoenas to the Pentagon and the White House Office of Management and Budget for documents detailing why military aid to Ukraine was frozen.

WEDNESDAY: Document deadline

The three committees subpoenaed documents with a deadline of Wednesday from two of Giuliani’s clients, Ukrainian-born business partners Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman. The two Florida businessme­n introduced Giuliani to a prosecutor in Ukraine. Parnas and Fruman were arrested Oct. 9 and charged with U.S. campaign finance violations.

THURSDAY: Sondland testimony

Gordon Sondland, U.S. ambassador to the European Union, is expected to testify privately under subpoena after refusing to appear voluntaril­y Oct. 8 under direction from the State Department.

FRIDAY: Perry subpoena deadline

Energy Secretary Rick Perry faces a subpoena deadline for documents about Ukraine.
