HOUSE OF REPS/INTELLIGENCE/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Former Donald Trump business associate Felix Sater did not appear behind closed doors before the House Intelligence Committee on Friday [6-21-19] morning because he overslept after he took a sedative, Sater told CNN. The House Intelligence Committee says it will issue a subpoena for Sater to appear before their panel after he failed to attend a prescheduled closed-door meeting. Sater said the impact of the sedative was stronger than he anticipated. Sater’s lawyer, Robert Wolf, had said earlier Friday his client could not appear for health reasons, but a spokesman for the committee said the panel would take action to compel him to testify…Sater was scheduled to appear before the committee for a second time following his 2017 appearance to discuss his work on Trump Tower Moscow with Trump’s former personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen. The interview was a sign that the committee is turning its attention back toward the President’s financial dealings and potential foreign influence.”
