BREAKING: Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney won’t testify this week before House committees conducting the impeachment inquiry, presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway said Wednesday
Here are the latest developments:Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney won’t testify this week before House committees conducting the impeachment inquiry, presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway said Wednesday.
“I’m told no,” Conway told reporters when asked whether Mulvaney would appear for questioning this Friday as requested by leaders of three House panels overseeing the probe. “Why would we try to be complicit in an impeachment inquiry that we’re not even sure what it’s about?” Conway said. “What is it about? If I gave you a blank piece of paper, literally, what would you write on it? What are we telling the American people, right here right now, as to why we’re impeaching the president?”
House leaders said in asking Mulvaney to testify that he may have been “directly involved” in an effort led by Trump, his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others to “withhold a coveted White House meeting and nearly $400 million in security assistance in order to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to pursue investigations that would benefit President Trump’s personal political interests, and jeopardized our national security in attempting to do so.
