A House committee issued a subpoena on Sept. 27 to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in order to compel him to provide documents relating to the Trump administration’s dealings with the Ukraine government.

Although the House is scheduled for a two-week recess, House Intelligence Committee members told Politico earlier in the day that they will be staying in Washington to work on the inquiry. This comes after Democrats and progressive groups called on the House leadership to cancel the congressional break.
