Hunter Biden was on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company for several years.Secretary of State Mike Pompeo An official from the House Foreign Affairs Committee said in a statement to Reuters that Pompeo had “failed to meet the deadline to produce documents required by the subpoena,” but confirmed the State Department had contacted the three House committees involved in the probes.

“This is what’s wrong, when the world doesn’t focus on the things that are right, the things that matter, the things that impact real people’s lives and instead you get caught up in silly gotcha game?” he said. Lawmakers are looking at whether Trump jeopardised national security and the integrity of US elections for personal political gain. Trump has called the impeachment investigation a “hoax” and accused the media and Democrats of corruption.in a phone interview yesterday that the president in the July 25 call had not offered his Ukrainian counterpart any “quid pro quo” for his cooperation in probing Biden and his son.
