As Congress returns to the Hill and impeachment testimony continues, Donald Trump's top officials and cronies face a lot of deadlines for document requests that the White House has promised will be ignored. The deadlines follow.
Tuesday: This is a big day. Vice President Mike Pence has a healthy list of requested documents that he is supposed to produce for congressional investigators. Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, also being scrutinized in a federal criminal probe, is under congressional subpoena to turn over documents. Additionally, both Defense Secretary Mark Esper and director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Russ Vought are supposed to turn over requested documents.
Friday: Energy Secretary Rick Perry and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney face subpoena deadlines to turn in documents.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo already decided to ignore his subpoena for October 4. Way to lead by example, there. U.S. Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland, who is scheduled to appear Wednesday for a deposition, also failed to meet a Monday subpoena deadline.
