Rudy Giuliani probably can’t explain this one away with a butt dial.Throughout 2019, President Trump’s lawyer — who doesn’t have a White House job — received multiple calls from the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, phone records obtained by the House Intelligence Committee reveal. It’s unclear exactly who from the office was calling Giuliani in the specified cases, but the calls did come noticeably close to Giuliani’s other communications surrounding Ukraine.Several calls from the White House and the OMB to Giuliani happened on April 12, 23, and 24, the phone records show, with one OMB call on the 24th lasting more than 13 minutes. And on either side on most of those calls, records show Giuliani received calls from or called Lev Parnas, one of the two indicted operatives he sent to Ukraine to dig up damaging information on the Bidens.> This is fascinating, as flagged by @KatyTurNBC and @AriMelber as I sit on tv w them: @RudyGiuliani was in contact with OMB. pic.twitter.com/UwYD4CZffy> > — Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) December 3, 2019Giuliani received another 13-minute call from the OMB months later, on August 8.
