House Requests Deposition From Mick Mulvaney
In a letter signed by the Democratic heads of the House Oversight, Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees, the Democrats requested Mulvaney appear before the committees on Friday at 9 a.m. ET to discuss whether he “played a central role in President Trump’s attempt to coerce Ukraine into launching his desired political investigations by withholding nearly $400 million in vital security assistance from Ukraine.”
House members also raised the disastrous press conference that Mulvaney led last month in which he openly admitted there was a quid pro quo to Trump request for investigations into his political rivals, before completely walking back the statement hours later.
“Despite your subsequent attempts to walk-back this clear admission, your statements to the American public on October 17 were nothing less than a televised confession that President Trump’s order to freeze Ukraine security assistance was explicitly linked to Ukraine pursuing investigations as part of an effort to bolster the President’s 2020 re-election campaign,” the letter said.

And when he fails to show they need to arrest him and compel him to testify.
