Rudy Giuliani Faces Subpoena for Documents in Impeachment Probe

Schiff said on Sunday that the panel would hear from the still-secret whistleblower “very soon,” but that no date had been set and other details remained to be worked out.

Polling showed some movement in public sentiment. A one-day NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll conducted Wednesday found that about half of Americans — 49 percent — approve of the House formally starting an impeachment inquiry into Trump.

There remains a stark partisan divide on the issue, with 88 percent of Democrats approving and 93 percent of Republicans disapproving of the inquiry. But the findings suggest movement: Earlier polls conducted throughout Trump’s presidency have consistently found a majority saying he should not be impeached.

Republicans were split over how and whether to defend Trump’s own words contained in a phone transcript and his actions, described by a whistleblower’s report — both of which were made public by the White House.

The result has been a rainbow of approaches, led by Trump, who stormed on Twitter that the whistleblower was “fake” and suggested the people leading the probe should be arrested and charged with treason.

“The Fake Whistleblower complaint is not holding up,” he tweeted Monday morning.

Trump has insisted his call was “perfect.”

“He didn’t even know that it was wrong,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, describing her own phone call from Trump in which the president suggested the documents would exonerate him.
