1. House Democrats issued their first subpoena in the impeachment inquiry, requesting documents from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

The request pointed to an aggressive strategy on the part of House Democrats to pressure the Trump administration to furnish crucial information surrounding President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine. Democrats have said the first hearing on the matter could happen as early as next week.
