BREAKING: 'Take her out': Recording appears to capture Pres. Trump at private dinner in 2018 saying he wants Ukrainian Amb. Marie Yovanovitch fired.
At times, the messages made public by the House Intelligence Committee show Giuliani boasting to Parnas about his efforts to have Yovanovitch recalled from Kyiv.
Another clip seen on the recording, according to the sources, is of individuals entering what appears to be a suite at the Trump Hotel for the intimate dinner. The phone that was recording the Trump conversation appears to be placed down on a table with the audio still recording the conversation between the commander-in-chief and other guests, according to the sources. The image of the president does not appear on the video reviewed by ABC News.
MORE: House Intelligence Committee in possession of video, audio recordings from Giuliani associate Lev Parnas "I don't know him," the president said just last week when asked about Parnas. "I don't know Parnas other than I guess I had pictures taken, which I do with thousands of people, including people today that I didn't meet. But I just met him. 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. I can only tell you this thing is a big hoax.
Joseph A. Bondy, Parnas' attorney, tweeted at the time that the materials were brought to House investigators"despite every stumbling block placed in our path" since his client's arrest.
