Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, is facing criticism after House Democrats released an impeachment report on Tuesday outlining conversations he had with many people entangled in it.

The report, which outlines many of the things House Democrats believe lay the groundwork for impeaching President Donald Trump, shows a web of phone conversations between Nunes, Rudy Giuliani, and businessman Lev Parnas, among others.

Parnas, an associate of Giuliani, allegedly worked with him to try and influence Ukraine to investigate Biden, according to the Washington Post. Parnas was also indicted in October on campaign finance charges. He has pleaded not guilty.

The phone calls, as CNN notes, were made in April as columns were published seeking to discredit former Vice President Joe Biden and former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, who testified publicly as part of the House’s impeachment inquiry.

The phone calls between Nunes and several people involved in the report led many people online to call for the California lawmaker to resign, or recuse himself, from the ongoing impeachment inquiry.

Even Parnas’ lawyer, Joseph A. Bondy, called on Nunes to recuse himself. Bondy told CNN in November that Trump wanted Parnas to pressure Ukraine to investigate Biden.

“Devin Nunes, you should have recused yourself at the outset of the #HIC #ImpeachingHearings. #LetLevSpeak,” Bondy tweeted.
