Where are we on impeachment today?
The president has reportedly been resisting efforts by his aides to hire public relations and legal professionals for a dedicated impeachment "war room" in the White House. Former deputy national security adviser Charles Kupperman — who was scheduled to testify Monday morning in the impeachment probe — is refusing to appear until a federal judge clarifies whether he must comply with a House subpoena, or with orders from the White House not to testify. Kupperman was listening in on the call between Trump and Ukrainian president Zelensky that led to the whistleblower complaint that catalyzed the impeachment proceedings.
