WASHINGTON — House Democrats announced Wednesday that they would subpoena White House officials by the end of the week if their demands for documents related to the investigation into President Donald Trump's alleged efforts to push Ukraine to probe Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden were not met.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff, both California Democrats, planned to speak to reporters Wednesday morning despite the congressional recess, ahead of a closed-door Capitol Hill briefing with the State Department’s inspector general that was described as"urgent.
The request came on the heels of fresh executive branch resistance to congressional investigators, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday portraying himself as a defender of State Department officials against Hill bullying. In the wake of Pompeo's pushback, a deposition that was expected to take place before two congressional panels Wednesday with former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was delayed by a week.
MeetThePress No more threats. Do it!
Never going to happen. USMCA needs ratifying. Treaty with Japan needs to be ratified. Business of the government and 'WE THE PEOPLE' comes 1st... How many billions $ will we loose before you ratify trade treaties.
That's good because nobody in the TrumpRegime ever ignore subpoenas.
they have to understand WE LIVE IN AMERICA
MeetThePress This is 'Show Boating'! They can't force anyone next to the President to talk. Dem's continue to prove their stupidity!
oh no, more threats
CONGRESS IS PART OF THE GOVT. AND HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON (SUPPENOEAS SHOULD NOT BE NECCESSARY FOR INFO) Trump and his associates may think they make the laws but are incorrect they must obey and follow the laws time to correct and make these people understand
Stop threatening and do it. Damn! 🤦🏽♀️
