President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told Fox News he will not comply with a congressional subpoena to turn over all documents related to the phone call between Trump and Ukraine central to impeachment hearings against the president, as the deadline for cooperating expires Tuesday.
Giuliani's attorney, Jon Sale, who he retained to represent him in matters relating to impeachment said his client would not abide by the subpoena "because this appears to be an unconstitutional, baseless, and illegitimate, "impeachment inquiry,"" according to a letter sent to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Tuesday.
"The subpoena is overbroad, unduly burdensome, and seeks documents beyond the scope of legitimate inquiry. Moreover, documents sought in the subpoena are protected by attorney-client, attorney work-product, and executive privileges," Sale wrote.
Giuliani also told Fox News he is parting ways with Sale, a former Watergate prosecutor, stating that unless Congress tries to enforce the subpoena, he will not be needing an attorney.
The three House committees conducting depositions this week to move the impeachment inquiry forward -- which include the Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and Oversight and Reform committees -- allege that Giuliani "pressed the Ukrainian government to pursue two politically motivated investigations” against the former vice president and 2020 hopeful Joe Biden and his son Hunter in exchange for foreign aid.

When the damn Republican controlled Senate gets off their cry, cry, cry ars and decide to do something. This is the rottenest Senate America has ever had. Cowards, the whole damn bunch.
Why would he testify before an illegal impeachment inquiry?
Let us “deem” miss Palousey to the cornfield.
Inquiry = Fishing expedition
This story required two gerbilists, Vandanarambaran and John Roberts.
In the senate trial.
It is not a subpoena. It is a letter demanding things that Congress has no legal authority to demand. They are lying to the public by calling their letters subpoenas.
“missing remote”
LOL!!!
no kidding.
Rudy was on TV taking hits left and right during the campaign.
He seemed to be the only one (and maybe Katrina Pierson) willing to take MSM to the mat.
Pierson deserved the effort on my part to look her up.
I didn’t even KNOW about her until today.
I live on this board lol
I don’t recall seeing the name.
Thanks
Trump’s, Pence’s and Rudy’s lawyers should attach a box of suppositories to any reply to these subpoenas.
Only after the whole house follows precedent and votes for a formal impeachment. Since that would expose the Dem majority to voter backlash, Nancy does not want to allow that ... so we have this made up half-impeachment where the Dems try to take pot shots at the President without receiving any return fire.
there was a time when guiliani was cheered on SNL

IMHO, the validity of these fake Dem “subpoenas” should be challenged in court.
Hmmmm....
Do “WE” know of a “friendly” venue?
What should be challenged in court is the media and the dems lying to the public by calling these letters “subpoenas”.
But Fox is squishy and can’t say truth in a Trump issue.
That’s hilarious. :^)
she is a pistol...she had to go thru Obama\Tea party\Cruz to finally become a rabid Pres. Trump supporter.
have’t heard much from Katrina lately...she sure made heads explode when she wore her Bullet necklace...
