ADADThe Senate’s spectator gallery rules have a long list of prohibited items — including all electronics. “Like many other New York constituents, Mr. Bondy reached out and asked for gallery tickets, and we said yes,” Justin Goodman, a Schumer spokesman, said in an email response to a request for comment. Bondy and Parnas have been on a media blitz in recent weeks, doing a number of press interviews in which Parnas said Trump knew the full extent of his and Giuliani’s efforts regarding Ukraine. He has been pushing the #LetLevSpeak campaign, insisting he is a valuable resource to the process, and is handing over documents requested by subpoena to Congress, while Parnas’s co-defendant Igor Fruman has refused to do so. The Senate is now weighing whether to remove Trump from office after the House impeached him on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
