Democrats say Vice President Mike Pence is among the top officials culpable in the president's efforts to bend foreign policy for personal gain.

WASHINGTON – Vice President Mike Pence is among the top officials culpable in President Donald Trump’s efforts to bend U.S. foreign policy for personal gain, according to a report released Tuesday from House Democrats investigating the potential impeachment of Trump.

The most damning testimony against Pence was diplomat Gordon Sondland’s account that he shared with Pence his concern that the military assistance was being delayed as leverage to get the investigations Trump wanted. Sondland said he delivered that message shortly before Pence met with Zelensky in Warsaw on Sept. 1.Democrats’ say Pence’s denial was “carefully worded.”

“I mentioned to Vice President Pence before the meetings with the Ukrainians that I had concerns that the delay in aid had become tied to the issue of investigations,” Sondland told lawmakers last month. Republicans counter that Williams “had no firsthand knowledge of any such direction or the reasons given for any such direction.”

When Pence met with Zelensky in September, he couldn’t promise that the nearly $400 million in military assistance would be released, Democrats wrote in their report.
