Democrats Subpoena Secretary Of State Pompeo Over Trump’s Ukraine Call, Pompeo Responds
The daily Wire reports that Pompeo Responded to Democrats subpoena of State Department officials.
Pompeo was stern with Democrats when he tweeted out a response to what he felt was “bullying and harrassment, Saying he “will not tolerate it!”
“First, your letter raises fundamental legal questions related to the authority of the Committee to compel an appearance for a deposition solely by virtue of these letters,” Pompeo wrote. “Your letter implies that you have sought to compel Department officials to appear for depositions on the identified dates, yet the Committee has not issued any subpoenas for depositions and we are not aware of any other authority by which the committee could compel appearance at a deposition.”
“Second, your letter provides a woefully inadequate opportunity for the Department and the requested witnesses to prepare,” Pompeo continued. “These individuals have retained, or may be retaining, private counsel, as is their constitutional right, and in the course of the Department’s discussions with these individuals, several have indicated that they need more time both to retain and to consult with private counsel.”
