Former Pete Sessions staffer to comply with subpoena in federal probe investigating Giuliani, associates
Federal prosecutors have subpoenaed a longtime aide to former Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) as they seek to examine Rudy Giuliani’s business dealings with Ukraine, including his involvement in efforts to oust the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine.
Caroline Boothe, who served as the chief of staff to Sessions, the former House Rules Committee chairman, notified House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that she intends to comply with the subpoena, according to her lawyer.
“Ms. Boothe notified the Speaker about the subpoena as she was required to do under House Rules. She fully intends to cooperate with the investigation," Elliot Berke, a lawyer at Berke Farah LLP, said in a statement.
Prosecutors with the Southern District of New York (SDNY) are seeking Boothe's testimony after Sessions was referred to as "Congressman-1" in an indictment that alleged that two Giuliani associates, who were recently charged with campaign finance violations, lobbied the GOP lawmaker to help them oust then-U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch from her post.
