WASHINGTON: Democrats aggressively accused President Donald Trump of an impeachment investigation on Friday, ordering Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to hand over documents related to Ukraine and schedule testimony for witnesses of alleged abuses of power by the US leader. <\/p>\n
Three House committees gave Pompeo a week to produce the documents, saying that several State Department officials have direct knowledge of Trump's efforts to get help from the Ukrainian government in his US campaign for re-election. <\/p>\n
"The committees are investigating the extent to which President Trump endangered national security by pressing Ukraine to interfere with our 2020 elections and by retaining security assistance provided by Congress to help Ukraine counter Russian aggression." they said. <\/p>\n
Public support is growing for the impeachment after the publication of an anonymous complaint of whistleblowers on Thursday, made by a CIA analyst who had worked at the White House. <\/p>\n
He accused Trump of pressuring President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in a July 25 phone call to provide information to former Vice President Joe Biden, the favorite to represent Democrats against Trump in the 2020 presidential elections. <\/p>\n
\nSupport for the growing movement<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The complaint also revealed that White House attendees, alarmed by Trump's implicit offer to release aid in exchange for Zelensky's help, attempted to hide the call log in a highly secure computer system that is normally used only to The most secret intelligence in the country. <\/p>\n
Congressional investigators on Friday announced interviews starting next week with five State Department officials, including former Ukrainian ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, whom Trump would have forced to leave earlier this year for resisting his efforts to pressure Kiev to investigate Biden. <\/p>\n
Key Official Waiver<\/strong><\/p>\n
The list includes the special US representative. UU. In Ukraine, Kurt Volker, who resigned on Friday after receiving the order to answer questions in the political trial investigation, said a source familiar with the matter. <\/p>\n
The whistleblower complaint said that Volker met with senior Ukrainian officials on how to "navigate" the demands of Trump by Zelensky. <\/p>\n
The president of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, said the political trial investigation would move forward quickly, saying that the evidence of the complainant's complaint against Trump of abuse of power and an attempt to cover up was unequivocal. <\/p>\n
"The clarity of the president's actions is convincing and gave us no choice but to move forward," said Pelosi. <\/p>\n
In a series of tweets, Trump attacked the Democrats, including Adam Schiff, the legislator appointed by Pelosi to lead the political trial investigation, calling them liars, while targeting the "partisan" whistleblower and the "Fake News Media and his partner. , the Democratic Party. " <\/p>\n
In a leaked video of a private meeting that Trump held on Thursday with US diplomats in New York, the president made it clear that he was fighting for his survival. <\/p>\n
"We are at war. These people are sick," Trump says in the video obtained by Bloomberg. <\/p>\n
Schiff said Friday that his committee will issue more citations next week and will hold a closed-door meeting with the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, the official who conducted a preliminary investigation into the complainant's complaint and considered it credible. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to develop all the facts for the American people. The seriousness of the matter and the danger to our country demands nothing less, \u201dsaid Schiff. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, more accusations against Trump came to light on Friday night, with The Washington Post<\/em> informing that he told the Foreign Minister and Russian ambassador to the United States that he was not worried about Moscow's interference in the 2016 US elections because Washington did the same in other countries. <\/p>\n
The document cited three former officials who requested anonymity to discuss the details of the Oval Office meeting in May 2017, during which it revealed highly classified information about the militant group of the Islamic State. <\/p>\n
The comments reportedly alarmed White House officials who restricted access to a memo describing the meeting to those with only the highest security access.<\/p>\n
