A court ruling could push current and former White House aides to testify in the impeachment inquiry — but Rep. Val Demings said Democrats won’t be waiting on that decision
A court ruling could push current and former White House aides to testify in the impeachment inquiry — but Rep. Val Demings said Sunday that Democrats won’t be waiting on the final decision.
“We're not going to play games with them. The American people are not going to, I think, tolerate any games,” the Florida Democrat, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, said on ABC’s “This Week.”In a 120-page opinion issued last month, a federal judge ruled former White House counsel Don McGahn must testify in the impeachment probe, stating that President Donald Trump’s advisers do not enjoy “absolute immunity” from lawmakers about their work. The case has been appealed.
“If they comply with the document request, I believe it shows a good faith effort on their part to further cooperate with the inquiry,” Demings added. The Intelligence Committee, which recently wrapped up its public impeachment hearings, will review a report — and quite possibly approve the findings in a party-line vote — on its inquiry into Trump’s ask of Ukraine to investigate political rivals. On Wednesday, the Judiciary Committee takes over and is expected to draft and consider articles of impeachment in the following weeks.
Demings said the president and his counsel were invited to participate in the process with the Judiciary Committee. So far, there hasn’t been an indication that they will.next week on Wednesday as Democrats move quickly to the next stage of the impeachment process.
