BREAKING: Big Impeachment Claim By Dems Falls Apart
December 6, 2019A big claim made in the ongoing impeachment inquiry involving Rudy Giuliani is now in doubt according to a recent report.
Earlier this week, Rep. Adam Schiff claimed that President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani was in contact with the United States Office of Management and Budget who were responsible for holding back the $400 million in aid to Ukraine.
“House Democrats earlier this week released records asserting that Rudy Giuliani was in contact with a phone number associated with the White House budget office, where $400 million in aid to Ukraine was temporarily put on hold this summer,” The Wall Street Journal said. “That assertion, however, is now in doubt. The previously undisclosed phone number cited by the House Intelligence Committee in its impeachment inquiry report, which The Wall Street Journal has identified, isn’t directly linked to the Office of Management and Budget. It could instead reflect phone calls from other parts of the White House, according to people familiar with the matter.”
According to a Democrat in the House, the phone number Rep. Adam Schiff provided may not be accurate: “We don’t definitively know who the call was to because the White House has ignored our subpoena.”
"The Journal noted that OMB officials stated that Giuliani did not speak with on one their staff and that a White House official previously stated White House call logs do not match up with phone records of acting chief of staff and budget office director Mick Mulvaney," the Daily Wire added.

Schiff had lied and claimed that Giuliani had a phone conversation on August 8 with the Office of Management and Budget, which was shortly after Giuliani allegedly met with an official from Ukraine.
“That number, along with the other references in the report to a number associated with OMB, all correspond to a placeholder number that shows up when officials in several White House departments make calls, according to people familiar with the matter,” the Journal continued. “The Intelligence Committee’s report set off media speculation that Mr. Giuliani was coordinating with the budget office about frozen aid to Ukraine, though the report didn’t specifically allege any discussion of aid by the president’s lawyer.”
Check out what the Daily Wire reported:
Giuliani has denied knowing that the aid was ever put on hold by the Trump administration until the information became public knowledge.
Democrats claim that President Donald Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a July 25 phone call, which Zelensky has repeatedly denied, saying that Trump was withholding $400 million in military assistance to Ukraine as a way of pressuring them into opening political investigations into former Vice President and current Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden.
The part of Trump’s phone call that Democrats take issue with is when he brought up Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, who worked on the board of a corrupt Ukrainian gas company, Burisma.
