Trump impeachment inquiry: A timeline

LA Times  

President Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this week on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. “The transcript was loaded into a separate electronic system that is otherwise used to store and handle classified information of an especially sensitive nature.” In the complaint, the whistleblower told the intelligence community’s inspector general that Trump was “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election.” Pelosi characterizes the whistleblower’s account as evidence of a White House “cover-up.” She says the allegations about Trump’s contacts with Ukraine would now be the central focus of the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. President Trump also says the White House is preparing a formal objection to the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry without an official vote. In a major escalation of the impeachment investigation, House Democrats issue a subpoena to the White House for documents on President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine and demanded additional records from Vice President Mike Pence. Oct. 11: Former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine testifies Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, testifies before lawmakers that President Trump was behind the abrupt decision to oust her from Kyiv in May based on “unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives.” The closed-door deposition lasted for more than eight hours despite White House efforts to block the veteran diplomat’s testimony, signaling an early victory for House Democrats in their fight for access to witnesses.
