Rep. Adam Schiff on State Dept. barring key witness from testifying: 'The failure to produce this witness, the failure to produce these documents, we consider yet additional strong evidence of obstruction of the constitutional functions of Congress.'
A key witness in the Democratic impeachment probe, Amb. Gordon Sondland, was barred from testifying at the last-minute Tuesday by the Trump administration, sources confirmed to ABC News.
President Trump seemed to say he blocked Sondland from testifying in a tweet Tuesday, saying,"Unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court, where Republican’s rights have been taken away, and true facts are not allowed out for the public to see." "As the sitting U.S. Ambassador to the EU and employee of the State Department, Ambassador Sondland is required to follow the Department’s direction," Luskin said in a statement to ABC News.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Saturday his department will"obviously do all the things we’re required to do by law," but he has accused House Democrats of"bullying" and"intimidating" State Department officials by reaching out to them directly and asking them to turn over documents he says belong to the executive branch.
