House committees conducting an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump want Vice President Mike Pence to turn over any documents he might have about the president’s attempts to get Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and the 2016 U.S. election.
“Recently, public reports have raised questions about any role you may have played in conveying or reinforcing the president’s stark message to the Ukrainian president,” the heads of the House Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees wrote in a letter Friday.
The letter notes references in those reports to a member of Pence’s staff who may have participated directly in the July call at the heart of the controversy; documents Pence may have seen, including a record of the call; and Pence’s own September meeting with the Ukrainian president in Warsaw, “during which you reportedly discussed the Administration’s hold on U.S. security assistance to Ukraine.”
