House committees conductingwant Vice President Mike Pence to turn over any documents he might have about the president's attempts to get Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and the 2016 U.S. election.
Pence's office derided the request as a public relations ploy. “The Office of the Vice President received the letter after it was released to the media and it has been forwarded to Counsel’s Office for a response," Katie Waldman, the vice president's press secretary, said in a statement."Given the scope, it does not appear to be a serious request but just another attempt by the Do Nothing Democrats to call attention to their partisan impeachment.
