Democrats have issued their first subpoena, to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, since impeachment proceedings began.

House Democrats issued subpoenas for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and five other State Department officials on Friday as they ramp up their investigation into President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani's effort to pressure Ukraine's new president to investigate Trump's political opponents.

"Your failure or refusal to comply with the subpoena shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House’s impeachment inquiry," the chairmen wrote. They require documents to be produced in one week, by Oct. 4.

In particular, House Democrats alleged that Trump withheld $400 million of military aid from the Pentagon and State Department, including light arms, maritime security equipment and special ops gear, a week before the call to pressure Zelenskiy. The department's counselor Ulrich Brechbuhl -- a top Pompeo adviser, former West Point classmate, and longtime friend -- was on the July 25 call, according to the whistleblower's complaint, although a U.S. official denied that he was. Brechbuhl is among the five officials scheduled for a deposition.
