U.S. diplomat at center of Trump-Ukraine affair to meet with House committee staff by ReutersZengerle

WASHINGTON - A longtime U.S. diplomat who served as President Donald Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine will tell his story to congressional committee staff on Thursday as part of a Democratic-led impeachment probe of the Republican president.

Charges that Trump pressured Zelenskiy in that call to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading rival in Trump’s bid for re-election in 2020, helped prompt House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to announce a formal impeachment investigation last week. He also expressed concern that U.S. Representative Eliot Engel, the Democratic House foreign affairs chairman, had ceded oversight of U.S. foreign policy to the Intelligence Committee because that panel, he said, would lead the questioning of Volker.

Representatives for the Foreign Affairs Committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Both Republicans and Democrats familiar with the process said, however, that Schiff’s panel had acted properly in advising the person to contact an Inspector General and seek legal counsel.
