  1. House GOP looks to protect Trump by raising doubts about motives of his deputies

President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani is a potential target for Republicans on Capitol Hill who, in seeking to defend the president in the impeachment inquiry, are suggesting that some of his underlings may have been freelancing in relation to Ukraine.

House Republicans’ latest plan to shield President Trump from impeachment is to focus on at least three deputies — U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, Trump’s lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, and possibly acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney — who they say could have acted on their own to influence Ukraine policy.
All three occupy a special place in the Ukraine narrative as the people in most direct contact with Trump. As Republicans argue that most of the testimony against Trump is based on faulty secondhand information, they are sowing doubts about whether Sondland, Giuliani and Mulvaney were actually representing the president or freelancing to pursue their own agendas. The GOP is effectively offering up the three to be fall guys.
