After Sondland bombshell, Democrats look to expand Trump probe to Pompeo, others by tomlobianco
WASHINGTON — House Democrats, emboldened after Ambassador Gordon Sondland provided stunning testimony Wednesday, are debating whether to expand the investigation to other Trump administration officials.
Sondland’s testimony, in which he admitted Trump wanted a quid pro quo from Ukraine, led pundits to refer to it as the “John Dean moment” of the House’s impeachment inquiry, a nod to former Nixon counsel John Dean’s landmark testimony in the Watergate investigation. It also left Democrats feeling stronger than ever.
But House Democratic leadership and senior Democrats involved in the impeachment inquiry say they still want the focus kept tightly on Trump. Pelosi has not formally announced whether the House will hold a vote on impeachment, but rank-and-file Democrats and Republicans who were queried since Sondland’s testimony largely expect Trump to be impeached.
