Impeachment: Vice President Pence faces deadline to provide documents
WASHINGTON – If Vice President Mike Pence doesn’t comply with House Democrats’ request to turn over by Tuesday documents related to the Trump administration’s actions on Ukraine, Democrats have said that refusal can be used as evidence to impeach the president.
Pence, himself, could also face repercussions.
Those range from a more probable next step – the denial becomes part of the larger battle between Democrats and the administration – to the most extreme route that experts say Democrats are unlikely to pursue: Pence is also impeached.
“I don’t see him as the target,” said Stuart M. Gerson, one of 16 conservative lawyers who released a statement last week in support of an “expeditious impeachment investigation.” “That creates a political issue that one would assume the Congress is smart enough to avoid.”
Instead, Gerson and other legal experts expect Pence to be treated like other officials in Democrats’ efforts to investigate whether Trump withheld military aid to Ukraine as part of an effort to get the newly-elected president to investigate the Biden family.
