that he was working with devin nunes and nunes' staff. and nunes initially pretend he didn't really know parnas at all. and i think, you know, these messages really do corroborate the story that parnas has been telling about how he was working with rudy giuliani and others and with devin nunes. and i think the picture, if i could add one thing to what josh said that these messages show is, it really paints a picture of how trump was able to take some of the most unethical and dishonest people from all different spheres of washington, d.c. from inside his administration. from capitol hill. private attorneys that show up on fox news all the time who he used in this plot that show up in these text messages, as well as journalists. for example, john solomon. able to take all these people and use them in this plot to -- to -- to discredit and smear and ultimately remove a u.s. ambassador. it's the type of thing you might expect to see in a non-democratic country where there is not really separation of powers. it's not what you expect to see in

. >> do you know congressman devin nunes? >> yes, i do. we met several times at the trump hotel. >> just how involved was devin nunes in the ukraine scheme? >> stand up, devin. everybody knows him. >> and as citizens across the country mark the martin luther king, jr., holiday, just what was happening in richmond, virginia today? all in starts right now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. the third impeachment trial in the history of the nation to possibly remove the president of the united states from office is about to begin. late today republican senate majority leader mitch mcconnell released the highly anticipated resolution regarding how the trial of donald trump will proceed in the senate. and it's clear that he wants to move very fast while also delaying any consideration of those pesky witnesses or testimony until after opening arguments. at 1:00 p.m. eastern time tomorrow, mcconnell will formally introduce the organizing resolution -- that's what it's called -- which chuck schumer is already calling a cover up and n

this is the aide to nunes. asking parnas for materials on dirt they're supposedly digging up on the bidens and there's a whole back and forth. there's a whole thing there's meetings. at the trump hotel in washington d.c. where this aide to nunes. rudy giuliani is there. more and more signs at least nunes's office was in the mix on this and heavily involved. >> is he admitting to having communication? >> just on wednesday. after initially denying. he says i remember now. there was a communication. >> there's photographs that show parnas closely tied to rudy giuliani. and pictures of an event he and the president apparently attended. >> name tags. more evidence that these guys did know each other. despite the president claiming he didn't. they're on the screen. there's a name tag right lev parnas and to the right is donald trump. we don't know if they actually sat next to each other or if he showed up. we see photographs of the president's family. people close to him. senior people d thank you notes. rudy giulian

i'm asking you about nunes.you believe him, that his top aide set up all this stuff with lev and he doesn't know his name, doesn't know anything about him? do you believe that if adam schiff said it? >> i know in the intelligence committee they come across a ton of people. i haven't talked to devin on this so i can't speak for him on this issue, but i will tell you that for devin nunes to take a look at corruption of joe and hunter biden in the ukraine or adam schiff to say i'm going to talk to russians about naked pictures of donald trump, they're both advancing their investigations that they think can lead to crimes. >> why deny it? why do you deny knowing the guy? >> you'll have to ask devin that. >> he won't come on. he won't come on. you know they only go on state tv. he wouldn't come on here. he knows better than that. we ask real questions here. >> i don't know that schiff has gone over to the other networks as well. everyone goes to their camps. >> this isn't a camp, sean. come on, brother. you know what

and devin nunes? remember him? he suddenly does remember speaking with old lev at the height of the pressure campaign. could one of trump's chief defenders come under scrutiny? defenders come und sercrutiny? good morning! oh no, here comes the neighbor probably to brag about how amazing his xfinity customer service is. i'm mike, i'm so busy. good thing xfinity has two-hour appointment windows. they have night and weekend appointments too. he's here. bill? karolyn? nope! no, just a couple of rocks. download the my account app to manage your appointments making today's xfinity customer service simple, easy, awesome. i'll pass. >> i've been here since the time of president ford. i have never, ever seen a report like this objecting so strongly to actions of a president in saying the president has to follow the law. it is a remarkable -- again in 45 years here, i've never seen anything like this. >> that was senator patrick leahy weighing in on the stunning news this morning that might have led all of these programs if

nunes?s, i do. >> what's been your relationship with him? >> we don't have too much of a relationship. we met several times at the trump hotel, but our relationship started getting basically where it expanded was when i was spintroduced to his aide, dara carvey, and the reason why dara carvey i was told because devin nunes had an ethics, an ethics committee, he couldn't be in the spotlight. he was kind of shunned a little bit and that he was looking into this ukraine stuff also, wanted to help out. they gave me da ar. >> you told mr. harvey what you were working on in ukraine? >> he was aware of that already. he knew everything. >> he already knew that by the time he talked to you. >> he had a lot of information already. >> do you believe he'd gotten that information from mr. giuliani? >> i think that they -- like i said, there was other people doing like this op research or whatever, i don't know what you call it, but it was coming from different sides, yeah. >> given that interaction that

parnas texted an aide to nunes to arrange interviews.want to interview the general prosecutor? nbc reached out to nunes's office for comment and hasn't heard back. >> the national political reporter josh joins me now. you have been reporting extensively. what can you tell us about devon nunes, the ranking republican on the house intel committee? >> reporter: these new text messages and documents just released show that lev parnas communicated extensively with a top aide to devon nunes named derek harvey. he worked in the white house before going over to the nunes staff. and these text messages show them actually working together, harvey and parnas, to try to arrange skype interviews with former ukrainian prosecutors, others who could potentially provide dirt on the bidens, as wm as setting up meetings between them, raising questions about ukraine aid and potential actions by the obama administration, and shows derek harvey providing his boss's contact information to lev parnas two days before call records obtained by the house impeachmen

>> is it possible nunes aide was operating without the congressman's knowledge? >> rather unlikely particularly if the aide wanted to keep his job. that sort of plausible deny blt does not work well many those officers. >> official after official has denied even knowing parnas. the president mentioned it multiple times only to have a photo showing them with parnas. either one is either lying or someone who nobody seems to know has incredible access to some of the most powerful people in the world. a number of members of this administration. >> well, obviously nunes answer there is just a lot of bs. we all can see through that. he lied on television. he's in cover up mode. that's really the trump administration's act right now is cover up these people. i barely knew them. we had previously heard donald trump barely new michael cohen or didn't know stormy daniels or everybody takes a photo with me. the parnas revolution shows he really was a player. he had the cell phone numbers of whoever he wanted. he had rudy giuliani's blessing and friendship. he was basically

and you could see, willie, even devin nunes. everybody knew he was lying, that he was being a liar when he said he didn't know who lev was, and even last night i think it was he had to go out and admit, oh, yes. i do remember now. they all -- they all know him. all had pictures with him. apparently the vice president of the united states caught lying. the president caught lying. the attorney general, all of them, caught lying, and my only thought -- my only thought was -- i mean -- this -- i just want to say to politicians out there. this is why it's important to have an inner voice. where you can tune everybody out. nancy pelosi holding up the articles of impeachment for as long as she did reveals -- has revealed so much in that time when republicans were try -- and right-wing trumpists were trying to pressure her and saying, oh, this is the worst thing ever. even democrats last week start whines about, oh -- >> let's go. >> send them over here. no. i mean, if i have any criticism of nancy, should have held them a couple more w

parnas if he remembers any interactions with congressman nunes. >> do you know congressman nunes?> what's been your relationship with him? >> we don't have too much of a relationship. we met several times at the trump hotel and our relationship started getting basically where it expanded was when i was introduced to his aide derrick harvey. and the reason why derek harvey, i understood at that time is devon nunes had an ethics committee and he couldn't be in the spotlight. he was kind of shoved a little bit and he was looking into this ukraine stuff also, wanted to help out. and devon, they gave me derek harvey to deal with. >> you told mr. harvey what you and mr. raleigh was working on? >> he was aware of that already. he nau everything. >> he knew about that by the time he talked to you? >> he had a lot of information already. >> do you believe he got that information from mr. guiliani? >> i think that certain, like i said, there was other people doing like this op research or whatever. >> research. >> i don't know what you call it. but it was coming from different sides. yeah.

you have to take a step back and think who devin nunes is. during the impeachment hearings, he was the person in charge of republicans on the house intelligence committee. he was theoretically supposed to be investigating the allegations that led to impeachment. it turns out that he was intricately involved -- or it seems as evidence suggests -- he and his wife were intricately involved in the effort to get rid of marie yovanovitch and lev parnas, this character that emerged from the underworld as a key player in all of this. that sort of makes it pretty remarkable that devin nunes didn't mention any of this during those impeachment hearings. >> all right, zachary wolf, thank you very much. >>> so these new documents from parnas also suggest that former u.s. ambassador marie yovanovitch may have been illegally spied on while working in ukraine. a series of text messages seem to reveal efforts by a republican congressional candidate named robert hyde to survey yovanovitch and reporter movements to lev parnas. in an interview last night, hyde d

i want to start with what martin mentioned, this devin nunes angle. these text messages, documents, showed extensive communicate between a top aide named derrick harvery and lev parnas. all of it seemingly surrounding this effort to dig up dirt on joe biden. there were various text messages exchanged as well as articles, tweets. some of them even involving that former ukraine ambassador marie yovanovitch. we have some question marks there. devin nunes is not a regular republican congressman but ranking member of the republican house intelligence committee, the committee that held all of these hearings and we saw nunes being a staunch supporter of president trump. a lot of allegations to exactly what he knew. nunes back in december when the first documents came out, there was a record that show parnas knew he had spoken. nunes said he didn't remember that. this week he did a different story to tell. take a listen. >> i checked it with my records. it was very clear. i remember that call, very odd, random. talking about random things. i said great, talk

and raised concerns about devin nunes. abc's david wright has more tonight from florida. >> reporter: tonight, in a 60-page legal brief summarizing their case, house democrats say president trump abandoned his oath to faithfully execute the laws and betrayed his public trust. >> president trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the united states. >> reporter: ahead of tonight's deadline, the house judiciary committee also released new documents showing frequent contact between an associate of rudy giuliani, lev parnas, and derek harvey, an aide to congressman devin nunes. nunes was the ranking republican at last year's house impeachment hearings, and a vocal supporter of the president. >> nothing we have heard establishes a claim that the president acted improperly in his dealings with ukraine. >> i was in shock when i was watching the hearings and when i saw devin nunes sitting up there. >> reporter: parnas, now unde

i think nunes' disclaimer that he doesn't know lev.n't heard the whole story. >> you say that anecdotally. what about mr. nunes with the staff. there is even more layering there. i don't think the story would be as big. >> there is absolutely no reason unless as lev tells us, the reason i had access was because rudy giuliani told people i was the president's guy. it sounds like somebody delivered that message to noongs, too. >> something we do on this show that our viewers know, whether it is with jay sekulow, or what you saw on the top, i want to show what is relevant in the senate trial. two sides to it. here is senator had graham going after what parnas said and his credibility from this new interview. >> i haven't looked at it. the questionable. all the evidence i've seen is a bunch of notes. nothing to do with the facts as far as i'm concerned. the people in question are sketchy at best. >> if the people in question are sketchy, it is that like democrats went out and looked for the dirtiest witness they could find. the president p

devin nunes is with us. can you explain this to me? you told the truth.dam schiff is now proven to be a liar for the 400,000th time. >> sean, you really just can't make this up. it's almost like they wanted this to happen, like they knew the republicans were going to go crazy over this. i sat down a few times in interviews. it's like the court wants to get itself abolished. and so, what sarah is talking about is the section of fisa that we authorize. it was a five year authorization. that's a tool that we use to really target terrorists. the bigger problem is that fisa itself is a law that dates back 30 years. we would actually end up shutting down a critical program because of the abuses that have taken place on a larger program. but i agree with mark meadows and others, that if we are going to appoint people like this, and it's not just the guy accused me of federal crimes. it's more that the guy has really downplayed this and has been an apologist, really, about what has happened with the fisa report. so i just don't know that what we've read is that t

so what do you make of the nunes connection?ed to be doing ukraine investigations before it was cool. >> i think that that is right. he is sort of like forrest gump. he has been in this investigation in a lot of different places. this points to the fact that in any normal administration with a normal attorney general and a functional doj tier of leadership which we know be a s counsel investigating this sort of a situation. and impeachment only reaches the president right now. and to the extent that criminal allegations are raised by much of the evidence that is now public, prosecutors should be investigating this information. so maybe they did things that are criminal violations, maybe not, but there should be a full blown investigation. >> and i want to ask you about your favorite people, defense attorneys. the president named a bunch of them including alan dershowitz. he had an interesting take on the constitutionality. take a listen. >> abuse of power even if proved is november an impeachable defense. le tframers didn't want

now we know more than a year later that the nunes memo was accurate and the nunes memo was truthful. i don't know what he was looking at that. are you and tray gowdy are only congressman that saw the redacted documents and that is how you knew the conclusion that he was being framed? how is it possible that you came on this program, maria, you said there is exequial paer to evidence and adam schiff wrote a tweet like that? >> you are right, maria. trey and i were designees able to see documents. adam schiff was one of the designees on their side to see that you can imagine how remarkable it was to sit in the senate and listen three days for adam schiff spin this ukraine hoax without any evidence to support it. at the same time that these details that you just mentioned, maria, are coming out about the last hoax that he played such a prominent role in, the russia hoax. because it was adam schiff who was leading the charge on that who said he had evidence that donald trump was a russian agent. he had evidence of a russian conspiracy. he was the one that came out and said when we raised

when i was watching the hearings and when i saw denver nunes sitting up there, and there was a pictureek harvey was in back sitting, i texted my attorney, i said i can't believe this is happening. >> because? >> because they were involved in getting all of this stuff from biden. >> so house impeachment investigators have released more material turned over by lev parnas, according to "the new york times." the material including text messages, photographs and calendar entries, underscored how deeply parnas and others were involved in carrying out the ukraine pressure campaign, and it provided additional evidence that the effort to win political advantage for president trump was widely known amongst his allies. "times" reports text messages and call logs show that parnas was in contact with two top republican fundraisers about what he was up to. tom hicks jr. and a donor and trump family friend and joseph hern who raised money for pro trump political groups. in the text messages, parnas kept both men appraised of efforts to disimnate targets of trump and giuliani, including marie yovanovi

that representative nunes' work was dishonest.epresentative nunes was right all along with regard to the fisa court. so if you were the congressman and you were the president of the united states, you'd be unhappy as well. on this issue, i think it's right to question on this particular mattered whether this person can be sufficiently independent. on the other hand, he served in the right position in the obama justice department for the national security division, which is -- >> so his resume matches the job. >> which is the right set of credentials. we should be careful. i'll say this. we should be careful here, this is an appointment by the presiding judge of the fisa court. i think we should give that judge the benefit of the doubt here. i think sometimes it's true that having someone from the opposite party to review the work of the fisa court and also the justice department's role in this will have an added credibility if that person finds that there really was a problem here. >> that's interesting. all right. >> my understan

evan, i referenced devan nunes, the top republican on the committee. now this information is documents that implicate him as involved intricately in this entire thing despite the fact that at first he said that was absurd and insulting anyone would say such a thing. this is showing that that was not true. >> yeah, i think originally devan nunes tried to say that he didn't remember having any interaction with lev parnas. and look, the fact is lev parnas is indicted. there's a lot of people who would question whether or not he's telling the truth. and here he's producing some of the information that shows that at least on some of these things he is telling the truth. and one of the things that you're referencing is the fact that he is closely coordinating with derek harvey, an aide to devan nunes on this conspiracy theory that the ukrainians were interfering in the 2016 election. it's something that the president has been pushing, the russian intelligence services have been behind this theory. so, there is some effort being made by devan nunes' aide to c

i think right now devin nunes should not be sitting on the house intelligence committee.to be removed. >> i don't understand legislators have a job. that's their lane that they work in. they vote. they write legislation. they try to figure out what's wrong and try to right it. they're not operational. they don't operate like ollie north got in trouble. he's an adviser to the president. he's running missiles over to iran. i mean, these guys -- why -- you've worked for the government. why would the u.s. congressman get stuff to come back down the next day and give it to the next wing working as a staffer for the president? >> that's right. his constitutional responsibility under article one is to be an overseer. to conduct oversight and be a check on executive branch power and policy. instead, he's gone to the other side. he's basically decided i'm going to work for trump and help him advance this false narrative about ukraine. i'm going to help him politically so he can win reelection and maybe reward me with more. >> congressman, again thank you for your service and being

i was in shock watching the hearings and when i saw devin nunes sitting up there. they were involved in getting all this stuff from biden. i know he was involved in the loop because of the firing of marie yovanovitch. >> parnas says everyone was in the loop. you heard him mention trump, pence, giuliani, attorney general william barr, former secretary of energy rick perry, representative devin nunes and former national security advisor john bolton. here's how trump responded to that. >> i don't know him. i don't know parnas. i don't know him at all, don't know what he's about, don't know where he comes from, know nothing about him. >> trump is not the only one to have photos with parnas, yet say he never met him. vice president mike pence said the same thing, adding the accusations were completely false. the justice department said the claims about barr were 100% false. nbc news reached out for comment. we have not heard back from them yet. the latest evidence out just last night indicates harvey communicated extensively with parnas on ukraine. and nunes admitted th

released by house democrats last month showed several calls between nunes and parnas.ssociated press reporting among the newly released documents are about 100 text messages between parnas and california republican staffer derek harvey who previously served in the white house on trump's national security council. the materials were provided to the house by parnas. according to a.p. the messages show parnas provided documents and helped set up meetings for harvey with ukrainians who, quote, have made unsubstantiated claims at vice president biden orchestrated the firing of a prosecutor who was investigating corruption allegations involving burisma. the a.p. notes that the documents also show parnas sent harvey a scan of the ukrainian passport of burisma's founder and tech showing that harvey scheduled phone calls with harn nas and a face-to-face meeting at the trump international hotel in washington. a spokesman for nunes' congressional office did not respond to messages left by email and phone on saturday. >>> new documents for the senate trial reveal brand-new informa

remember the nunes memo vindication kateed by congressman nunes vindicated by the ig.og post that's still up. you can read it. he suggested nunes, i'm not kidding, nunes could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice. this is like a comedy act. this is like the new dave chapelle. brian: president has got to change it. next thing i want to bring it up is nancy pelosi's terrible interview yesterday. she cannot put two sentences together. i don't know why anybody doesn't point this out. again, she brings up farcical notion that all of this has to do with putin. listen. >> the president of the united states is in complete denial about russia's role. as i have said in terms of this president all roads lead to putin. everything that he has done, whether it's inn. syria, vis-a-vis the turks, whether it's been ukraine in terms of withholding assistance as they try to fight the russians. his denial about their role in our election then and now, all roads lead to putin. and sometimes i wonder about mitch mcconnell, too, what's he -- why is he an accomplice to all of that? brian:
