President Trump's former deputy national security adviser Charles Kupperman defied a congressional subpoena, failing to appear for a closed-door deposition before House impeachment investigators
But Democrats said that attempts by Kupperman and others not to comply with subpoenas will not delay their impeachment investigation, regardless of whether they decide to go to court to try to enforce the subpoenas."We are not willing to allow the White House to engage us in a lengthy game of rope-a-dope in the courts," House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said Monday after Kupperman did not appear.

But his suit looms over another more senior witness Democrats are eager to speak with: former national security adviser John Bolton.
