“If you were subpoenaed — and the courts are backing us up on this — you show up. And if you don’t show up there has to be consequences," said Rep. Jim Himes, a lead investigator in the impeachment probe.
As House Democrats met for the first time Wednesday following the release of a sweeping impeachment report accusing President Trump of widespread abuse of power in the Ukraine scandal, a number of lawmakers want to focus on getting the administration to produce even more information.
Democrats have generally taken a two-track strategy to impeachment and investigations, declining to wait on courts to rule that White House officials must testify, while also promising more investigations of Trump and associated figures.
