official was on the call adds a new dimension to the scandal, which last week led House Democrats to launch a formal impeachment inquiry against Trump. At the very least, Pompeo knew Trump was pushing Ukraine to dig up dirt on one of his chief political opponents.
It appears Pompeo’s involvement may go far deeper than this, though. On Sunday, Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer who has no official government role, said onthat Pompeo knew of his efforts to convince Ukraine to look into the Bidens, and that he did so with the State Department’s blessing. “I did not do this on my own,” he said. “I did it at the request of the State Department and I have all of the text messages to prove it. And I also have a thank you from them from doing a good job.
Emboldened by the newly launched impeachment inquiry, House Democrats have already taken steps to uncover the extent of Pompeo’s involvement. On Friday, three committee chairmen subpoenaed him after he failed to voluntarily provide documents related to Ukraine. “The subpoenaed documents shall be part of the impeachment inquiry and shared among the Committees,” wrote Reps. Adam Schiff , Eliot Engel , and Elijah Cummings .
So?
