The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed former communications director Hope Hicks and former deputy counsel Annie Donaldson — who both witnessed Trump's obstructive acts outlined in the Mueller report.
Trump's attempts at stonewalling congressional oversight have not stopped the House Judiciary Committee.
The committee on Tuesday subpoenaed both former White House communications director Hope Hicks and former White House deputy counsel Annie Donaldson, ordering both to hand over documents and appear before the Judiciary Committee to testify about instances in which they witnessed Trump obstructing justice.
The two women both play a significant role in the obstruction section of special counsel Robert Mueller's report.
Hicks testified in the report about her role in the response to the now infamous Trump Tower meeting — in which Trump's son Donald Trump Jr., son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former campaign chairman turned convicted felon Paul Manafort all met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer who promised "dirt" on Hillary Clinton.
