Adam Schiff
Two more White House officials on Tuesday told House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff to pound sand and skipped their impeachment depositions.
The White House released a statement last week after the House voted to ‘formalize’ their Soviet-style impeachment inquiry and clearly said they will be barred from participating in the sham impeachment probe.
The Hill reported:
Wells Griffith, a special assistant to the president and senior director for international energy and environment on the National Security Council, did not appear for his Tuesday morning deposition. Michael Duffey, associate director for national security at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), was absent for his closed-door hearing slated for Tuesday afternoon.
House Democrats are seeking testimony from Griffith because of his participation in a July meeting at the White House with Ukrainian officials, while Duffey was subpoenaed over his alleged involvement in withholding the $400 million in aid to Ukraine, The Washington Post reports.
Several White House officials on Monday told House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff to pound sand and didn’t show up for testimony in the Dems’ Soviet-style impeachment inquiry.
Four Trump Administration officials who were scheduled to testify on Monday were a no-show.
Among the witnesses who were subpoenaed to testify include top White House attorney John Eisenberg and a top advisor to Mick Mulvaney.
The White House directed the four officials not to testify because the subpoenas were denying the witnesses the ability to bring administration lawyers in the hearing with them, reported the Wall Street Journal.
In response to the snub on Monday, Schiff accused the Trump admin of wanting to delay, deny and obstruct his sham impeachment probe.
