Democrats eager to maintain political momentum declined to go to court to enforce subpoenas connected to the Ukraine investigation. In fact, they withdrew a subpoena for a top witness — former White House national security aide Charles Kupperman — when it appeared poised to drag the House into a lengthy court battle. A hearing in that matter, which Democrats are asking a judge to dismiss immediately, was held Tuesday afternoon.
