President Trump's July 25 conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the White House’s handling of the call records have ignited a firestorm on Capitol Hill, with Democrats moving full steam ahead on their impeachment inquiry.
The controversy has engulfed a host of administration officials, prompted vigorous defenses from Trump and laid the foundation for a bruising impeachment battle.
House Democrats on Monday subpoenaed President Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, as part of their investigation into the president's effort to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.
The chairmen of the House Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs committee asked Giuliani to hand over documents by Oct. 15.
