Pete Sessions Subpoenaed Over Interactions With Giuliani

October 15, 2019 at 6:20 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“A grand jury has issued a subpoena related to Manhattan federal prosecutors’ investigation into Rudy Giuliani, seeking documents from former Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) about his dealings with President Trump’s personal lawyer and associates,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The subpoena seeks documents related to Mr. Giuliani’s business dealings with Ukraine and his involvement in efforts to oust the U.S. ambassador in Kyiv, as well as any interactions between Mr. Sessions, Mr. Giuliani and four of Mr. Giuliani’s associates who were indicted last week on campaign-finance and conspiracy accounts.”

“Mr. Giuliani is the primary focus of the subpoena.”

Architect of 2010 Wave May Now Get Swept Out

July 27, 2018 at 6:24 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), “a longtime party leader and former House GOP campaign chief, is confronting a treacherous political landscape back at home — a well-funded Democratic opponent with a boffo résumé, a rapidly diversifying and more liberal district, and, perhaps most critically, a constituency of well-educated and upper-income suburban voters who increasingly are turning on the president,” Politico reports.

”His predicament underscores the grave danger confronting Republicans this fall. As the party braces for an electoral drubbing that threatens to wipe out the majority they won eight years ago, the list of incumbents under duress is growing ever longer — and even powerful lawmakers like Sessions, a sharp-elbowed tactician who hasn’t faced a serious reelection contest in over a decade, are suddenly trying to survive a Trump-fueled bloodbath.”
