The subpoena demands documents related to Perry’s knowledge of Trump’s July 25 phone call with the Ukrainian president.
House Democrats issued a subpoena on Thursday to Energy Secretary Rick Perry as part of their impeachment inquiry.
The subpoena demands a series of documents related to Perry’s knowledge of President Donald Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which Trump pushed his counterpart to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.
Three House committees investigating the episode note that Perry reportedly encouraged Trump to make the phone call. They also want information about whether Perry sought to press the Ukrainian government to make changes to the advisory board of its state-owned oil and gas company, Naftogaz.
