State Department has responded to congressional request for documents: Pompeo

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says that the State Department has sent an initial response to a congressional demand for documents related to the impeachment probe of President Donald Trump

ATHENS - The U.S. State Department has issued an initial response to a Democratic-controlled congressional committee’s request for documents related to the impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Saturday.

“The State Department sent a letter last night to Congress, which is our initial response to the document request. We will obviously do all the things we are required to by law,” Pompeo said in a news conference in Greece. He did not elaborate on the contents of the letter. “We hope the Department will cooperate in full promptly,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said on Friday that the subpoena “changes nothing” and that it would be ultimately shown that Trump did nothing wrong.
