[House Impeachment Inquiry\Pompeo]
Senate Democrats on Foreign Intelligence Committee: “ We now know, according to today’s testimony from Ambassador Gordon Sondland, that you were fully aware of President Trump’s scheme to withhold urgently needed security assistance to Ukraine for his personal and political gain…The only legitimate option is for you to recuse and to delegate the Department’s response to the Trump-Ukraine scandal to a senior career Department official. We urge you to do so immediately.”

BIPARTISAN SENATORS TO SECRETARY OF STATE POMPEO: DIPLOMACY IS CRITICAL IN STOPPING SOUTH SUDAN’S CIVIL WAR

[Africa News\South Sudan]
Bi-partisan Senators on South Sudan to Pompeo: “We share deep frustration with the lack of progress toward a political settlement and the untold levels of human suffering despite over $4.5 billion in U.S. humanitarian aid since the war began. A Special Envoy is needed to engage the region and help coordinate Western donors in pressing both parties to forge a viable path forward leading up to the November deadline and beyond.”

NEW JERSEY SENATOR MENENDEZ QUESTIONS POMPEO’S AND GIULIANI’S ROLE IN TRUMP’S EXTORTION CAMPAIGN ON UKRAINE

[Trump Impeachment News]
Senator Menendez: “In his call with President Zelensky, the President repeatedly encouraged a foreign leader to speak with his private personal attorney. Not a government official, not a diplomat, not a representative of the State Department. His personal attorney. As Secretary of State, you are charged with carrying out foreign policy for the United States. Yet it appears that our policy with Ukraine was effectively outsourced to a private individual pursuing the personal vendettas of the President.”

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE CHAIRS RELEASE STATEMENT DEMANDING FULL RELEASE OF TRUMP’S UKRAINE “SHAKEDOWN” CALL DOCUMENTS

[Trump Impeachment News]
Joint Statement by Democratic Committee Chairs: “The transcript is an unambiguous, damning, and shocking abuse of the Office of the Presidency for personal political gain. This is a clear breach of trust placed in the President to faithfully execute the laws and to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. The record of the call released by the White House confirms our worst fears: that the President abused his office by directly and repeatedly asking a foreign country to investigate his political rival and open investigations meant to help the President politically.”
