House Intel to subpoena Felix Sater after he fails to appear for testimony

Source: Politico

The House Intelligence Committee will issue a subpoena to Felix Sater, a former business associate of President Donald Trump who was the chief negotiator for the failed Trump Tower Moscow project, after he failed to show up for a voluntary interview Friday morning.

“The committee had scheduled a voluntary staff-level interview with Mr. Sater, but he did not show up this morning as agreed,” said Patrick Boland, a spokesman for Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). “As a result, the committee is issuing a subpoena to compel his testimony.”

Sater told POLITICO that the interview is “being rescheduled.”

The Trump Tower Moscow project has been a central focus of the Democrat-led committee’s investigation into whether Trump is compromised by foreign actors.

First question to him when they get him under oath........Did anyone in the Trump Org or WH tell you or threaten or attempt to intimidate you into not appearing.
