On spending, negotiators are trying push through a $1.4 trillion package of agency spending bills to fill in the details of this summer's budget-and-debt accord.

Lawmakers return to Capitol Hill this week with House Democrats set to accelerate their impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

That work will intensify when Congress gets back. The notion that President Donald Trump might do a lot vital dealmaking with Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi, his impeachment antagonist, might be fanciful, given Trump's impulsiveness and calls for for border wall cash.

GARCIA-NAVARRO: And just more on this, this morning, there was a statement from Hunter Biden, who has been pretty absent from this since the Ukraine scandal broke. Mr Dowd previously represented Mr Trump in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation that detailed Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign to boost Mr Trump's candidacy.

Sondland responds that the assertion is "incorrect" about Trump's intentions.

On Wednesday, Biden gave a blistering speech in which he called for impeachment, accusing Trump of "shooting holes in the constitution".

Lutsenko is the Ukrainian official who prosecutors say urged two Giuliani associates to push for the ouster of Marie Yovanovitch, the former USA ambassador. Somebody said I heard a report today.

Edwards has been polling close to that 50% threshold, but Trump campaign officials believe Trump can help boost turnout among Republicans enough to keep Edwards from winning outright in the state's unique jungle primary system.

Later on Saturday evening the president reiterated his support for Giuliani in an interview with Fox News host Jeanine Pirro . Trump had given a confusing response to reporters on Friday when he was asked if Giuliani was still his private attorney.

House Democrats have also subpoenaed acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney for documents with a deadline of October 18.

Schiff said his committee, one of three panels leading the impeachment probe, was initially interested in speaking to the whistleblower.

"What I'm not going to let you all do is take the focus off the problem", Joe Biden said Sunday.

"They sought political influence not only to advance their own financial interests, but to advance the political interests of at least one foreign official ⁠- a Ukrainian government official who sought the dismissal of the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine", Geoffrey Berman, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of NY, said at a Thursday news conference.

"We know a lot about the core conduct of the president", Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney of NY, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said after Yovanovitch's appearance.

Later Saturday, he told Jeanine Pirro during a telephone interview broadcast on her Fox News Channel program that Giuliani continues as his lawyer. However, the President once again used the rally - his second in two nights - as a perch from which to fight back against the impeachment inquiry, which he called "unconstitutional".

A green light from labor would make Pelosi's job much easier, so the outlook for the trade agreement soured considerably when Trumka warned that labor would work to kill it if House Democrats tried to rush a vote. According to the Constitution, however, members of congress can not be impeached.

In a conference call with the Democratic caucus on Friday, the issue didn't even come up, according to a person familiar with that private call who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss it.
