House Democrats subpoenaed the White House on Friday for documents and records related to President Donald Trump's July phone call with Ukraine's president.
House Democrats subpoenaed the White House on Friday for documents and records related to President Donald Trump's July phone call with Ukraine's president, escalating their standoff as the impeachment inquiry continues.
"After nearly a month of stonewalling, it appears clear that the President has chosen the path of defiance, obstruction, and cover-up," Chairmen Elijah Cummings, D-Md., Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., wrote in their letter to the White House. "We will consider that as consciousness of guilt ... and it will potentially be considered as an article of impeachment, of obstruction of Congress," Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., a member of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, told ABC News.
They have also requested documents from Vice President Mike Pence's office and already had subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal lawyer who played a key role, for information about his efforts to encourage Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, and his business dealings ahead of the 2020 election.
