House Democrats investigating whether to impeach President Donald Trump issued a subpoena Monday demanding that Rudy Giuliani, his private lawyer, produce communications and other records related to his attempts to pressure Ukraine to investigate the president’s Democratic rivals.
The new demands of Giuliani and separate requests sent to three of his associates said to be involved in the Ukraine matter suggest that Democrats are moving quickly to stand up their investigation. On Friday, they issued a subpoena to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for documents and demanded that he make five department officials available for depositions.
Giuliani is at the center of an alleged pressure campaign to enlist Ukraine’s help tarring the president’s political rivals.
