Schiff warns Trump is inviting impeachment by blocking witnesses
President Donald Trump’s effort to block a former national security aide from testifying in Democrats’ impeachment inquiry is strengthening the case for impeachment based on obstruction of Congress, House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said Monday.
Schiff also argued that the president is seeking to block Kupperman because he is concerned about a high-level source corroborating damning testimony that Trump pressured Ukraine to open investigations of his political rivals — and condition military aid and a White House visit on bending the European ally to his will.
“We are not willing to allow the White House to engage us in a lengthy game of rope-a-dope with the courts,” he said.
