Trump impeachment inquiry awaits key witnesses, but some will be no-shows by ReutersZengerle karen_freifeld mattspetalnick
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK - U.S. lawmakers leading an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump have scheduled another crucial round of testimony this week, but several key White House witnesses plan to defy them and some other administration officials could follow suit.
Three White House budget officials, including the acting budget director, are already refusing to show up, a senior Trump administration official said, citing the White House’s opposition to the inquiry. Their testimony is considered critical to helping determine whether Trump used foreign aid as leverage to secure a political favor.
Eisenberg also told Vindman, who listened in on the call, not to discuss the matter when the White House aide and several other National Security Council officials reported to him their concerns about the conversation, said the source, speaking on condition of anonymity. Trump, who has denied any wrongdoing, accused the Democrats on Twitter on Sunday of “working overtime to FIX the Impeachment ‘Process’ in order to hurt the Republican Party and me.”
