Democratic House manager Val Demings argued today for the release of documents from the State Department.
Moments ago, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced an amendment to subpoena the documents.
Demings said Democratic House managers strongly support the amendment.
"They would help complete our understanding of how the President's scheme unfolded in realtime. They would support the conclusion that senior Ukrainian officials understood the corrupt nature of President Trump's demand and they would further expose the extent to which Secretary Pompeo and Mick Mulvaney and other senior Trump officials were aware of the President's plot and helped carry it out. We are not talking about a burdensome number of documents," she said.
Demings continued: "We are talking about a specific, discrete set of materials held by the State Department. Documents that the state department has already collected in response to our subpoena, but has never produced. We know that these materials exist. We know that they are relevant, and we know the President is desperately trying to conceal them."
