Days after launching an impeachment inquiry, House Democrats are considering whether they have grounds to charge President Trump with obstruction
President Trump, desperate to undermine a fast-moving impeachment probe, could be adding to his troubles.
In a sharply worded three-page letter to Rep. Eliot Engel , chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Pompeo said the Democrats’ request “can be understood only as an attempt to intimidate, bully, and treat improperly” State Department professionals, including members of the foreign service. Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, separately suggested he might defy a House subpoena for documents regarding his meetings with Ukrainian officials, saying it “raises significant issues concerning legitimacy and constitutional and legal issues,” including attorney-client privilege.
Trump urged Zelensky to “look into” former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading Democratic presidential candidate, and his son Hunter, who had worked for a Ukrainian natural gas company. Democrats argued that Trump’s attacks on the whistleblower bring his controversial call with Zelensky into sharp relief.
