DEVELOPING: 4 witnesses who are scheduled to appear Monday for closed-door depositions in the House impeachment inquiry are expected to skip their testimony appearances, sources familiar with their plans tell NBCNews.
House Democrats had previously said that they will forgo court battles with defiant witnesses and instead consider their efforts to stonewall lawmakers as grounds for a separate article of impeachment on obstruction of Congress. Democrats say they have not yet decided, however, whether to pursue impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Concerns about the July 25 call between Trump and Ukraine’s president by the whistleblower were communicated to the White House, specifically who Eisenberg, who along with the CIA’s general counsel, told the top national security lawyer at the Justice Department, John Demers, that the allegations should be examined by the DOJSeveral witnesses who have already testified in the impeachment inquiry told lawmakers that they consulted Eisenberg about the phone conversation.
McCormack is the former chief of staff to Energy Secretary Rick Perry, who was subpoenaed to testify in the inquiry, but isn’t expected to appear, reports said.Haley Talbot
