'The president was pressuring a foreign government to target an American citizen. That's an abuse of power,' Representative Hakeem Jeffries told CNN.
While Donald Trump has repeatedly slammed the ongoing impeachment inquiry as a baseless"witch hunt," one Democratic congressman said that lawmakers are following the president's own advice on the probe.
On Wednesday morning, Trump fired off a series of tweets claiming that Republicans are unified in opposing the impeachment inquiry. The president recently blasted GOP lawmakers who were not totally loyal to him regarding the impeachment probe, calling them"human scum." House Democrats have laid out the next steps in the impeachment process, unveiling a resolution earlier this week that details procedures for public hearings. The resolution is expected to come to a floor vote as early as Thursday.
In the month since the inquiry started, lawmakers have subpoenaed several Trump officials for documents relating to the Ukraine controversy. Vice President Mike Pence, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, Energy Secretary Rick Perry and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney were all called on to produce related information.
