'We are deeply sorry': Democrats asked the White House for documents on Ukraine

In the United States, Democratic lawmakers demanded that the White House provide documents as part of an ongoing investigation that could lead to impeachment of President Donald Trump.

According to Air force, an order for the provision of documents was issued on Friday, October 4, by the chairmen of the three committees of the House of Representatives - on supervision and reform, foreign policy and intelligence.

These documents relate to circumstances related to by telephone conversation between President Trump and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on 25 of July this year.

The committees of the House of Representatives conducting the investigation require the president to provide the listed documents by October 18.

“We deeply regret that President Trump has put us and the whole country in such a position, but his actions leave us no choice but to make this demand,” reads a letter to the White House congressional Democrats.

White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham tried to belittle the value of this demand, saying that it does not change anything.

A separate request for documents was sent to Vice President Mike Pence - he is asked to clarify the role that he could play in this matter.

What exactly do Democrats demand

In a joint letter, the chairmen of the three committees of the House of Representatives, controlled by Democrats, accuse President Trump of refusing to satisfy the numerous demands for the submission of documents related to his conversation with Ukrainian President 25 on July.

Refusing to voluntarily provide documents, the letter says, the president chose the path of obstruction and hiding information.

Failure to comply with this requirement of the congressional committees will be evidence of such an obstruction, which in itself may become a reason for impeachment, the letter says.

How did the president react

On Friday, President Trump said the Democrats had a sufficient majority in the House of Representatives to pass a resolution on his impeachment, but expressed confidence that the Senate would decide in his favor during the trial.

Currently, most Republicans in Congress strongly support the president, although two Republican senators have opposed him.

Utah Senator Mitt Romney called the president’s actions outrageous on Friday.

The day before, Donald Trump publicly called on the authorities of Ukraine and China to investigate the activities of Joe Biden and his son Hunter in these countries.

There is no evidence of abuses from Hunter Biden, who until the beginning of this year was a member of the board of directors of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma.

On the subject: Joe Biden's son was an alcoholic and a drug addict.

There were also reports of the existence of a second source of information about the president’s inappropriate behavior, represented by an intelligence officer who is considering making his own complaint.

On New York Times, this anonymous employee has more explicit information about the circumstances surrounding Trump’s conversation with President Zelensky.

The newspaper reports that Inspector General Inspector Michael Atkinson had a conversation with this person in order to confirm the statements made by the first source.

This source, who apparently is a CIA official, was not a direct witness to the telephone conversation, so the testimony of a new official confirming his complaint may prove valuable in a Democratic investigation.

As ForumDaily wrote earlier:

  • Congressmen became interested in a telephone conversation between the two presidents as part of an investigation into whether Trump and his lawyer Rudolf Giuliani tried put pressure on Ukraine in order to help Trump's election campaign in 2020 year.
