Washington, DC - Democrats in the United States Congress said on Wednesday they will subpoena the White House for records related to a phone call between President Donald Trump and the leader of Ukraine.
Representative Elijah Cummings, chairman of the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, issued a two-day notice of legal action, saying he plans to subpoena for all communications about the phone call from more than 25 individual officials on Friday.
House Democrats "are investigating the extent to which President Trump jeopardised national security by pressing Ukraine to interfere with our 2020 election and by withholding security assistance provided by Congress to help Ukraine counter Russian aggression, as well as an effort to cover up these matters," Cummings said in a publicly released memo to House members.
The Democrat-led House is pursuing an impeachment inquiry specifically focusing on Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the administration's actions in the lead-up to the call.
