House Democrats call on Mulvaney to give deposition in impeachment probe
House Democrats have requested that acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney give a deposition in the impeachment probe, according to a letter released Tuesday.
In the letter, the three chairmen of the House committees conducting the probe wrote, “Based on evidence gathered in the impeachment inquiry and public reporting, we believe that you possess substantial first-hand knowledge and information relevant to the House’s impeachment inquiry," the letter read.
"Specifically, the investigation has revealed that you may have been directly involved in an effort orchestrated by President Trump, his personal agent, Rudolph Giuliani, and others to withhold a coveted White House meeting and nearly $400 million in security assistance in order to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to pursue investigations that would benefit President Trump’s personal political interests, and jeopardized our national security in attempting to do so,” the letter said.
Rep. Adam Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chairman; Rep. Eliot Engel, the House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, the acting chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee, said Mulvaney may have been involved in "efforts to cover up these activities."
