Felix Sater to testify after missing previously scheduled appearance

Source: Politico

Felix Sater, a former business associate of President Donald Trump who was the chief negotiator for the defunct Trump Tower Moscow project, will testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday morning, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The closed-door interview will cap a protracted back-and-forth between Sater and the panel, which has rescheduled his appearance several times since he was first slated to appear in March.


Sater failed to appear for a voluntary appearance before the committee last month because he was sick and slept through his alarm, he told POLITICO at the time. Sater previously said his attorney, Robert Wolf, was already in Washington for the planned interview but the committee issued a subpoena anyway.

Wolf maintained in a statement that Sater couldn't attend last month's interview due to “unexpected health reasons” and said Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s decision to issue a subpoena was “entirely unnecessary.”

Is he genuine or not...I am baffled. Right now I do not trust him. That is my position on all these characters in this "shit show". My rules are flipped for them and their "innocence". I am starting out with "Guilty until proven innocent" since it seems to be quicker that way.

… I would say, Felix, we have a facility where you can stay - and, where you will NOT miss your appearance due to sleeping through your alarm. Put him there until he is done testifying- at no charge! Also, he needs to speak in public, so the people can hear what he has to say.
