BREAKING: House Democrats subpoena Pentagon chief, other officials, for documents in impeachment inquiry
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by WashingtonPost:
House investigators subpoenaed documents from the Department of Defense and Office of Management and Budget on Monday about the withholding of military aid to Ukraine as the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry barreled forward.
The move came after Republicans stepped up their attacks on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) after late-night tweets from President Trump suggesting that she should be removed from office, not him.
The article goes on to state the following:
A State Department official declined to appear Monday morning at a planned deposition by House committees seeking to learn more about Trump’s efforts to press the leader of Ukraine to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden at a time when U.S. military assistance had been suspended.
“The enclosed subpoena demands documents that are necessary for the committees to examine this sequence of these events and the reasons behind the White House’s decision to withhold critical military assistance to Ukraine that was appropriated by Congress to counter Russian aggression,” the document reads.
🚨#BREAKING🚨 Chairs of @HouseIntel, @OversightDems, & @HouseForeign subpoena Defense Department and OMB as part of #ImpeachmentInquiry.
The Committees are seeking documents on the President’s decision to withhold military assistance from Ukraine.
