Trump impeachment: White House withheld Ukraine aid just after Zelensky call
Mr Trump was formally impeached by the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives on Wednesday, but is unlikely to be removed from office as the case will go to trial in the US Senate, where his Republican party has a majority.following a court order in a freedom of information case.
In the email Mr Duffey asks that the Department of Defense"hold off" on providing aid following the administration's plan to review. "If there was ever an argument that we need Mr Duffey to come and testify, this is that information. This email is explosive," Mr Schumer said. Mitch McConnell, the Republican majority leader who will determine the terms of the trial, wants the case to be considered without testimony.
