White House official arrives to testify in impeachment probe
By Mike Lillis - 11/16/19 10:23 AM EST A top White House budget official arrived in the Capitol on Saturday morning to testify privately in the Democrats' swift-moving impeachment investigation into President Trump's handling of foreign policy in Ukraine.
Mark Sandy, a senior official at the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), is expected to lend new insights into Trump's decision to freeze almost $400 million in U.S. aid to Kyiv over the summer as he was simultaneously pressing Ukrainian leaders to open investigations that might help the president politically.
The White House has sought to prevent administration officials from cooperating in the impeachment investigation, which it deems invalid. Sandy is the latest in a long list of officials to defy that blockade and agree to be interviewed under a Democratic subpoena.
