House investigators seek testimony from Mulvaney; two more transcripts expected to be made public

House impeachment investigators are seeking a deposition of acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Thursday, targeting the highest-ranking White House official to date in the Democratic-led inquiry.

In a letter sent Tuesday afternoon, the House Democrats leading the impeachment inquiry said they want to learn what Mulvaney knows about Trump’s efforts to press for an investigation into former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company.

The request — which Mulvaney is not expected to honor — came as investigators prepared to release two more transcripts from closed-door depositions conducted last month. Two new witnesses summoned to the Capitol on Tuesday refused to appear.

Meanwhile, Republicans are considering installing Rep. Gym Jordan (R-Ohio), a boisterous Trump supporter, on the House Intelligence Committee as it prepares to hold public hearings.

1. Jordan and Meadows just sat there during the

testimony (released transcripts show they barely attempted to question witnesses). There was no great defense from them and definitely no circus. If Jordan does get to ask questions during testimony on TV he will attempt to turn it into a circus. The Dems are using their really good prosecutor (Barry Burke I believe) and is the same guy who questioned Lewandowski after the Dems did.
