Adam Schiff Details The Inculpating Context Of Charles Kupperman's Refusal To Testify In House Impeachment Inquiry
Charles Kupperman and Trump Ukraine Scandal
Kupperman was on the July 25th call when President Trump allegedly pressured Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to investigate the Bidens.[22] Kupperman was scheduled to testify on Monday, October, 28th, 2019 before three house committees handling the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump with respect to the Trump Ukraine scandal. The Trump administration, through White House counsel Pat Cipollone, directed Kupperman in writing not to comply with the House subpoena claiming "constitutional immunity" would protect him. [23]Subsequently, Kupperman filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to decide whether or not he must comply with the House subpoena or the Trump Administrations request to not testify. Kupperman's lawyer argued that he is faced with "irreconcilable commands" between the legislative and executive branches of government which can only be decided by the judicial branch. [24][25]
