House impeachment investigators are seeking a deposition of acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Thursday, targeting the highest-ranking White House official to date in the Democratic-led inquiry.
In a letter sent Tuesday afternoon, the House Democrats leading the impeachment inquiry said they want to learn what Mulvaney knows about Trump's efforts to press for an investigation into former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company.
