U.S. House Democrats subpoena the White House for documents they want to see as part of their impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump
WASHINGTON - U.S. House Democrats on Friday subpoenaed the White House for documents they want to see as part of their impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump.
They gave the White House until Oct. 18 to produce the information, including who else besides Trump was on the phone call with Zelenskiy. They gave Pence until Oct. 15 to produce any records relating to the July call and a meeting he held with Zelenskiy on Sept. 1. Democratic Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, a member of the Intelligence Committee, said he believed the whistleblower’s identity should be kept secret even from members of the panel.
