Impeachment inquiry into President Trump widens into a constitutional battle between the executive branch and Congress, as Democrats subpoena White House officials

Representative Adam Schiff Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence walks to a meeting with Michael Atkinson, Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, at the US Capitol October 4, 2019 in Washington, DC.

"We deeply regret that President Trump has put us - and the nation - in this position, but his actions have left us with no choice but to issue this subpoena, the three chairmen said. Meanwhile, Senator Mitt Romney, perhaps the most prominent Republican critic of Trump, blasted what he called a "wrong and appalling" move by Trump to ask Beijing and Kiev to investigate Biden — the latest small crack in support for the president within his own party.

Trump suggested it was "up to the lawyers" as to whether he would cooperate with the impeachment investigation.Trump is accused of pushing Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate Biden, the possible Democratic 2020 presidential nominee, in return for $400 million in military aid. At least one diplomat was conscious that they were placing "additional pressure on Ukraine to deliver on the president's demand for Ukraine to launch politically motivated investigations" of Biden, Democrats conducting the impeachment probe said in a statement.

Trump claims that the younger Biden earned "millions" on business deals — a charge the Bidens have denied.
