GOP/IMPEACHMENT/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/UKRAINE: “President Donald Trump hosted a group of Republican senators Thursday [11-14-19] afternoon for lunch and showed them an account of his first call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to three sources familiar with the matter. The Republican senators who attended the lunch included Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Mike Crapo of Idaho, Ted Cruz of Texas, Steve Daines of Montana, Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Mike Enzi of Wyoming and Jerry Moran of Kansas. Trump tweeted Monday that he would release a transcript of the April 21 call this week but the White House has yet to publicly share the document. The administration previously released a summary of Trump’s July 25 call with Zelensky, which showed he requested the Ukrainian president investigate the Biden family.”
