In his infamous July 2019 call with Ukraine's president, Trump remarked: "She’s going to go through some things,” referring to Yovanovitch. Parnas told Maddow that Giuliani had informed Ukrainian officials that he represented Trump and had his imprimatur. According to Schiff, Parnas' documents showed that on Oct. 2, 2019, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow told former Trump attorney John Dowd that he had discussed "the issue of representation" with Trump. Parnas told Maddow the notes were from a "phone conversation" with Giuliani, and the "main objective" was always to get Zelensky to announce the probe. Pence ultimately didn't attend the inauguration because of the dispute over the investigation, Parnas claimed.
