A U.S. House committee chairman on Tuesday subpoenaed two more former White House aides, including Hope Hicks, just hours after former White House Counsel Donald McGahn was a no-show for testimony before the panel at President Donald Trump's request.

As tensions rose between the Republican president and the Democrats who control the House of Representatives, lawmakers also negotiated for future testimony by Special Counsel Robert Mueller on his Russia investigation and debated whether to launch high-stakes impeachment proceedings against Trump.

The showdown between Trump and the Democrats intensified after McGahn, heeding Trump's instructions, ignored a subpoena from the Democratic-led House Judiciary Committee and did not show up to testify before the panel.

Undeterred in a growing conflict with Trump over congressional powers to oversee his administration, committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler announced he had issued fresh subpoenas to Hicks, the former White House communications director, and to Annie Donaldson, McGahn's former chief of staff.

Republicans derided Tuesday's session as a political stunt.

"This is becoming a regular event. It's called the circus of Judiciary," said the panel's top Republican, Doug Collins.

Trump, seeking re-election in 2020, is refusing to cooperate with many congressional probes into his administration, his family and his business interests.

The Trump stonewalling is breaking down. He actually believes he can hide his crimes until the statute of limitations rescues him. Trump admin is the least transparent in history. He blocks every effort to air his crimes. He is a very bad president and a worse human being.

who let you out of the bat-shit crazy house.

check back in, your meds are at the desk
 
Would someone explain to me WHY if they are no longer working at the WH or fed government, you can't present yourself. I don't get it. Trump can not touch them. His CONFIDENIALTY agreements weren't worth the paper they were written on.

I am still trying to understand what crimes have been committed by Trump. The Democrats can't seem to come up with any. What are they going to impeach him for? Obstruction without any evidence to support that asinine claim? :laugh:

Can you explain to me why they should even be subpoenaed? What crimes are they witness to?

Any proof of any of those claims? You do realize that we are not a Fascistic third world shit hole where one is not presumed innocent until they can be charged and convicted. What proof do you have of all those claims? What proof does the Democratic Party of the Jackass have of such fabricated claims?

Congress DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY to demand his legal team testify before them.
