House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said the whistleblower at the heart of Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump may not testify
called for the official to be unmasked. Trump’s unrelenting barrage has spurred worries from Democrats that congressional Republicans may try to reveal that person’s identity — conceivably endangering his or her safety — at the behest of the president.Schiff said the whistleblower’s testimony might not be needed given that a rough transcript of the call with Trump asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a “favor” — the centerpiece of the whistleblower’s complaint — is public.
Several Republicans, meanwhile, refused to answer questions Sunday about whether it is acceptable for Trump to solicit foreign assistance for political gain, instead attacking the former vice president and House Democrats. Republicans have generally been reluctant to answer questions about whether it was proper for Trump to solicit foreign assistance, instead attacking House Democrats over how they’re conducting the investigation.
“This idea that the process is somehow is not fair is just a fiction designed to avoid the question of whether the conduct of the president is good or not,” Himes said on ABC. Yovanovitch instead agreed to comply with a House subpoena to attend. Similarly, lawmakers will hear much anticipated testimony from Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, on Thursday. Sondland was subpoenaed following his failure to show up for a scheduled deposition earlier this week at the direction of the State Department.
