S. Officials want to push the ukrainian president to investigate trumps leading opponent joe biden well an official joins us live now from washington to transfer marks come as any surprise alan. It really has been stonewalling any sort of oversight that has come fro
A stone wall them in the past and when asked about at this time he gave this response i dont know that stuff is the lawyer i know the lawyers think theyve never seen anything so there theyve never seen that they think so i just ive been president now for almost 3 years and ive been a guy for this for almost 3 years its almost become like a part of my day and now house committees involved in the impeachment inquiry have os for documents from Vice President light and its about any role he might have played. Thats right well there are observers here in washington who would suggest that might pence was thrown under the bus by the president at his News Conference last week when he said well youre talking about my phone calls with ukraine what about mike pences phone calls with your create well all the house committees that have the oversight thought you know what a boat might pay and so they want to talk to him about what he knew about the phone calls in may and also in july what briefings

A very good idea lets do that so they have put forward their subpoena for documents from the Vice President and in that letter saying we want these documents theyve also said that failure to comply by october the 14th would be considered to be an obstruction of justice 3 very important whats important because that is whoa they managed to get Richard Nixon it wasnt the cover up well it was the cover up but it was blocking documents going to oversight congress so theyre saying to mike pence look you hand over these documents theres every chance that youre going to be charged with obstruction of justice which means impeachment for you as well so this hasnt been a good week for the white house friday hasnt been a good day for donald trump and mike pence and the reality is things are probably only going to get worse from this point all right alan fischer with the latest from washington allan thank you.
