Pompeo "should not be making any decisions regarding witness testimony or document production in order to protect himself or the president," the Democrats wrote. "The department must immediately halt all efforts to interfere with the testimony of State Department witnesses before Congress." In a letter last week, the three chairmen notified Pompeo that they had scheduled depositions for five State Department officials between Wednesday and Oct. 10. In his letter, Pompeo also accused committee staff of "sending intimidating communications to career department professionals." The chairmen also subpoenaed Pompeo last Friday for documents related to Ukraine that they said pertained to the impeachment inquiry.
