Democrats subpoena Pompeo as part of impeachment inquiry

The House Committee on Overseas Affairs subpoenaed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for documents associated to President Donald Trump's interactions with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky as a part of it is impeachment inquiry.

The subpoena, which demands Pompeo present paperwork by Oct. 4, was accompanied by a plan to depose five State Department officers, including Ambassador Kurt Volker, who reportedly organized for Trump's personal lawyer to satisfy with high-level Ukrainian officials, and Marie Yovanovitch, who was removed as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine by Trump.

"The subpoenaed documents shall be a part of the impeachment inquiry and shared among the Committees. Your failure or refusal to adjust to the subpoena shall constitute proof of obstruction of the House’s impeachment inquiry,” wrote Home Overseas Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel, Home Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and Home Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings in a joint letter to Pompeo.

The depositions are set to take place between Oct. 2 and Oct. 10, whereas Congress is out on a two-week recess.
