CONSIDERING THIS IS WHAT

HAPPENED.

ED: LET'S TURN TO IMPEACHMENT.

WANT TO START WITH YOU BECAUSE

YOU'VE BEEN UNDER FIRE, AS YOU

KNOW, IN RECENT DAYS WITH THE

CHAIRMAN WHO YOU DON'T GET ALONG

WITH.

ADAM SCHIFF SORT OF DROPPED IN

THE REPORT THERE ARE PHONE

RECORDS SUGGESTING THAT YOU WERE

SPEAKING TO NOT JUST RUDY

GIULIANI, BUT ONE OF HIS

ASSOCIATES WHO'S NOW BEEN

INDICTED.

HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR PHONE

RECORDS TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT

WHAT THE CHAIRMAN IS ALLEGING IS

TRUE?

>> YEAH.

SO I'VE BEEN UNDER FIRE FOR

THREE YEARS BECAUSE WE CONTINUE

TO EXPOSE CORRUPTION, RIGHT?

WHETHER IT'S THE DEMOCRATS

UNMASKING TRUMP TRANSITION

OFFICIALS TO THEM FUNDING THE

DOSSIER THAT WAS USED TO -- THEY

GAVE IT TO THE FBI TO GET A FISA

WARRANT ON CARTER PAGE.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, OVER THE

TWO WEEKS BEFORE THANKSGIVING, I

THINK THEY WERE EMBARRASSED BY

THEIR LACK OF EVIDENCE THEY WERE

ABLE TO PRESENT THROUGH THE

HEARING.

IS SO WHAT HAPPENED IS THE

FRIDAY THANKSGIVING THIS FAKE

NEWS STORY DROPS ABOUT ME

SUPPOSEDLY BEING IN VIENNA, AND

THEN WE GET BACK FROM

THANKSGIVING AND, LO AND BEHOLD,

MY NAME -- ALONG WITH ONE OF MY

CURRENT TAFFE PEOPLE, I THINK

THIS IS IMPORTANT, AND A FORMER

STAFF PERSON -- ALL OF A SUDDEN

OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE VIOLATED

BECAUSE OUR PHONE RECORDS SHOW

UP IN THIS REPORT.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU I HAD, I WAS

BUSY ALL WEEK SO FINALLY

YESTERDAY I HAD A CHANCE TO GO

THROUGH ALL MY PHONE RECORDS,

AND I CAN TELL YOU MY PHONE

RECORDS DO NOT MATCH WHAT SCHIFF

AND THE DEMOCRATS PUT IN THAT

REPORT.

ED: SO YOU DID NOT TALK TO LEV

PARNAS, FOR EXAMPLE, AS MANY

FINALS AS THEY'RE ALLEGING?

>> WHAT I HAVE, I CAN TELL YOU

IT DOESN'T MATCH.

I HAVE ONE CALL WITH RUDY

GIULIANI IN APRIL, ONE IN MAY,

OKAY?

THE REST OF THE CALLS ARE EITHER

THEY DIDN'T CONNECT OR IT WAS A

VOICEMAIL, RIGHT?

SO ONE IN APRIL, ONE IN MAY.

I HAVE A CALL FROM SOMEBODY

NAMED -- I ASSUME IT'S PARNAS'

WIFE, BECAUSE IT'S REGISTERED TO

A LADY, INCOMING CALL TO MY

PHONE.

I WOULD DO WHAT I WOULD NORMALLY

DO IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU

DON'T RECOGNIZE SOMEBODY, YOU

DON'T KNOW SOMEBODY, YOU SAY

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LET ME GET

YOU TO THE APPROPRIATE STAFF

PERSON.

ED: SO DID YOU EVER HAVE A

SUBSTANTIVE CONVERSATION ABOUT

INFORMATION IN UKRAINE?

>> WELL, ANYTHING -- REMEMBER, I

DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE NAME UNTIL

JUST IN THE LAST MONTH WHEN HE

WAS INDICTED BECAUSE I DIDN'T

KNOW WHO THIS PERSON WAS.

SO WE GET SO MANY CALLS ALL THE

TIME FROM RANDOM PEOPLE BECAUSE

WE'RE THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE,

RIGHT?

WE GET CALLS FROM AMERICANS,

CALLS FROM FORMERS.

I DON'T REMEMBER IT BEING A

FEMALE VOICE.

SEEMS LIKE, YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER

A CALL, SOMEBODY I DIDN'T KNOW.

SAID, HEY, I'LL GET YOU TO THE

APPROPRIATE STAFF PERSON.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHAT WE

DIDN'T TALK ABOUT, OKAY?

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE'S NO

WAY I TALKED ABOUT ME BEING IN

VIENNA MEETING WITH RANDOM

UKRAINIANS.

THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, RIGHT?

SO I CAN TELL YOU WE DIDN'T TALK

ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT DIDN'T

HAPPEN.

SO I THINK THERE'S -- AND THE

OTHER ISSUE ABOUT PARNAS THAT WE

KNOW OF IS THAT THE ONLY PERSON

THAT'S BEEN TALKING TO PARNAS

ARE ADAM SCHIFF AND THE

DEMOCRATS.

I RECEIVED ONE CALL, LIKE I

SAID, WE RECEIVE CALLS ALL THE

TIME.

THEY'RE IN TOUCH WITH PARNAS ALL

THE TIME.

SO IF THERE'S A PROBLEM, THEY

NEED TO INVESTIGATE THEMSELVES.

PETE: ON THIS ISSUE SCHIFF AND

RUDY GIULIANI, A LOT OF PEOPLE

POINTING TO BASIC CIVIL

LIBERTIES.

NOT JUST MEMBERS OF CONGRESS,

BUT REPORTERS AND OTHERS, ANYONE

WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN TALKING TO

RUDY GIULIANI, NOW THEIR PHONE

RECORDS OUT THERE?

>> SO I BELIEVE I AM THE FIRST

MEMBER OF CONGRESS, AND I

BELIEVE MY STAFF AND FORMER

STAFF ARE THE FIRST ONES EVER TO

HAVE THEIR PHONE RECORDS EXPOSED

LIKE THIS.

SO WE'RE SITTING ON ROUGHLY 3500

PAGES OF METATODAY TAXER OF

PHONE -- METADATA, OF PHONE

RECORDS THAT THE DEMOCRATS

SUBPOENAED.

THEY STARTED DROPPING PHONE

NUMBERS IN AND SEARCHING, LET ME

SEE WHAT NUMBERS POP UP.

SO THE TRUTH IS TWO CALLS TO

RUDY GIULIANI AND ONE CALL WITH

A GUY THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW

SEEMS PRETTY ODD TO SAY THAT

THAT'S A CONSPIRACY, RIGHT?

AND THEN HE POPS ME IN THE

REPORT SAYING THAT I HAVE

SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS

AMBASSADOR YOVANOVITCH BEING

FIRED.

I ARE NEWS FOR THEM, I DIDN'T

KNOW WHO SHE WAS.

>> YOU GOING TO RELEASE YOUR

PHONE RECORDS --

>> WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO.

I THINK THAT IS A QUESTION

BETWEEN A, THE IF, THE -- AT&T,

HOUSE DEMOCRATS, VERIZON --

>> RIGHT.

>> -- AND THE COURTS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE

LEGAL ACTION HERE --

>> ARE YOU TAKING LEGAL ACTION

RIGHT NOW IN.

>> WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO

TAKE LEGAL ACTION.

>> RIGHT.

>> REMEMBER, THEY HAVE THE PHONE

RECORDS OF MANY JOURNALISTS, OF

MANY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, RIGHT?

RUDY GIULIANI -- I'M NOT THE

ONLY MEMBER OF CONGRESS RUDY

GIULIANI KNOWS.

SO THERE'S A LOT AT STAKE HERE

BECAUSE THOSE PHONE RECORDS ARE

DOWN THERE, AND AT ANY GIVEN

TIME IF THEY DON'T LIKE A

REPORTER OR A MEMBER OF

CONGRESS, THEY CAN GIN UP A
