| 0:00.0 | We're into week four of the impeachment inquiry into President Trump. |
| 0:04.2 | Here are some new developments to keep you up to date. |
| 0:08.0 | Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, was paid $500,000 last year by a company founded by Lev |
| 0:15.0 | Parnas, who was arrested last week on campaign finance charges. Giuliani told the Washington Post |
| 0:21.1 | late Monday that he was confident the money he received for work done on behalf of Parnas' |

| 1:31.8 | about the need to call Bolton to testify. The House of Representatives returned to Washington |
| 1:37.9 | Tuesday back in session and resuming the impeachment inquiry at a rapid pace. And two key means of |
