House impeachment managers on Jan. 21 targeted Pat Cipollone, the White House counsel who’s playing a major role in the defense of President Donald Trump in the Senate trial.

The House Democrats wrote in a letter (pdf) to Cipollone on Jan. 21 that he’s a “material witness” in the trial, and demanded that he disclose all “first-hand facts and information” before the trial starts.
