Democrats have a new target in their quest to impeach Trump before the 2020 elections:
AXIOS – The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed former Trump administration aide Rob Porter on Tuesday to testify in its probe regarding possible obstruction of justice by President Trump.
Porter was a key witness for the obstruction portion of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. He resigned from the White House last year after his two ex-wives came forward with abuse allegations. Porter may never have to face the committee as the White House has moved to block other former surrogates from testifying before House Judiciary.
Democrats want Porter to appear on September 17, but I expect the White House to put the kibosh on his subpoena too. Trump will not help Democrats impeach him, that’s for sure.
Besides, Porter has already been questioned at length by Mueller and every bit of his testimony is already available in the Mueller report.
