HOUSE OF REPS/INTELLIGENCE/RUSSIA/TRUMP BUSINESS/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Felix Sater, the Russian-born business associate of President Donald Trump who worked on the Moscow Trump Tower project, told CNN Wednesday [6-19-19] he will testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Friday [6-21-19]. Sater’s testimony, which will be behind closed doors, is a sign that the House Intelligence Committee is ramping back up its investigation into the President’s finances and potential foreign influence. House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff confirmed that Sater was coming for a staff-led interview, and said Sater was one of several witnesses the committee would bring in connected to the Trump Tower Moscow project…Sater had been scheduled to appear publicly before the committee in March, but Schiff postponed that hearing after special counsel Robert Mueller finished his report. The House Judiciary Committee also postponed a closed-door interview with Sater that has not been rescheduled. Schiff said at the time that Democrats had to focus on obtaining the full Mueller report and evidence, but now the California Democrat and other committee leaders investigating the President have turned back to their own probes.”
