Less than 12 hours after the White House announced President Donald Trumps impeachment trial defense team, new questions have emerged about connections between some of his lawyers and figures at the center of the Ukraine investigation.

A document dump from the House Judiciary Committee overnight Friday included more information about Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas, who is currently under federal indictment for his alleged role in the political pressure campaign in Ukraine.

The released documents included photos of Parnas with President Trump as well as shots of him with Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney general who is among the lawyers on the president's impeachment team.

Trump has repeatedly said he does not know Parnas.

Bondi, in an interview on NBC's "TODAY" on Saturday morning, dismissed the photos.

Clearly, Lev Parnas liked to take pictures with a lot of people, she said. "He showed up at events pretty much everywhere where Republicans were.

The Judiciary Committee's release also included information obtained by the FBI when they searched Parnas electronic devices. According to his electronic calendar, Parnas had a breakfast meeting scheduled with Trump in September, just days before Parnas was arrested.

I dont know what that matters, what theyre planning on doing with it, Bondi said when asked about how apparent evidence of the presidents relationship with Parnas might figure into Democrats' strategy at the trial. Were going to stick to the facts and stick to the law in this case.

Besides questions about possible connections of Parnas to the president and Bondi, another person on Trump's defense team drawing attention is Kenneth Starr, who in the 1990s oversaw investigations into President Bill Clinton that led to his impeachment. At that time, Trump called Starr a lunatic and a disaster.

Asked about Trump's prior comments on Starr, Bondi said, Clearly he does not think this now.

Ken Starr knows what hes doing," she said. "He has experience in this field.

Bondi also addressed the question of whether new witnesses might be called at the Senate trial, which is set to begin on Tuesday.

If they want to force a witness to be called, thats going to be discussed, Bondi said.
