Committee counsel says Democrats threatened witnesses to testify Trump impeachment
Republican counsel Steve Castor tells the House Judiciary Committee at its impeachment evidentiary hearing against President Donald Trump that Democrats withdrew a subpoena to one witness who asked a federal court to resolve conflicting orders from Congress and the executive because they did not want to wait for the court to rule where they did not like the presiding judge and instead made demands and refused to budge, telling witnesses at the outset that the refusal to cooperate in full would be used against them and President Donald Trump, threatening federal employees that their salaries could be withheld for not meeting demands, fundamentally unfair and counterproductive tactics for gathering information in any serious inquiry, rushed to take it or leave it approach investigating contrary to how successful congressional investigations typically work.
