On the 27th, three house committees of the US Congress issued a subpoena to US Secretary of state pompeio on the "telephone door" incident between us president trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky, and asked him to submit relevant documents on the incident before October 4 this year to cooperate with the house of Representatives' impeachment investigation of trump.
In a joint letter on the same day, the chairmen of the Foreign Affairs Committee, the oversight committee and the intelligence committee of the house of representatives said that they requested access to relevant documents to investigate the harm of Trump's pressure on Ukraine to intervene in the U.S. 2020 election to U.S. national security and other issues, and informed Peng peo, In the next two weeks, five state Department officials, including volko, the special representative of the US government for Ukraine, will be arranged to submit testimony.
The three democratic party chairmen also warned that if Pompeo failed or refused to cooperate, it would become evidence to hinder the impeachment investigation of the house of Representatives. Pompeo or the US State Department have yet to respond to the matter.
Trump defended himself on social media on the 27th, saying that his call with ZELINSKY was perfect, and shelled the "phone gate" informant.
CNN quoted people familiar with the matter as saying on the 27th that Volcker resigned on the same day. It is unclear why Volcker resigned. The US State Department has not publicly confirmed volko's resignation.
According to recent US media reports, an intelligence source in the United States reported that trump used military assistance as a bargaining chip to pressure the other party to investigate former US vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Biden and his son hunt in a telephone call with Zelensky in August this year. The "telephone door" incident caused a great uproar in public opinion. Democrats accused trump of abusing his power to seek personal interests and seeking foreign forces to intervene in the US presidential election. The Democratic controlled house of Representatives launched an impeachment investigation against trump on September 24. The House Intelligence Committee released the above report letter on the 26th. Volcker was mentioned as a "key figure" in the "telephone gate" incident.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the White House released the telephone call records between trump and Zelensky on the 25th. Trump said on the phone that Biden had interfered with Ukrainian justice, leading to the end of the investigation of hunt by Ukrainian procuratorial organs. Trump asked Ukraine to investigate the matter. Zelensky said he would let the new Prosecutor General of Ukraine investigate the relevant situation.
Biden served as vice president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. He announced his election for the next US president in April this year, which is regarded as one of Trump's main competitors.
