More witnesses expected to skip impeachment depositions Tuesday

WASHINGTON — Two more witnesses in the House impeachment inquiry were expected to be no-shows on Tuesday, a day after four officials also skipped their scheduled depositions.

Wells Griffith, special assistant to the president and senior director for international energy and environment at the National Security Council, failed to show up for his deposition before three congressional committees Tuesday morning.

Michael Duffey, associate director for national security programs at the Office of Management and Budget, was also expected not to appear for his scheduled depositions before the same three panels early in the afternoon. Democrats issued a subpoena for his testimony on Oct. 25.

Griffith is among a number of officials from the NSC whose testimony has been sought by lawmakers leading the impeachment investigation. Some officials, like Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, have appeared.
