Ex-Deputy National Security Adviser Skips Impeachment Deposition

Charles Kupperman, former Deputy National Security Adviser, did not attend his scheduled deposition, defying a congressional subpoena. He filed a lawsuit seeking clarity on whether he must comply, citing constitutional immunity claimed by the Trump administration. The House committees leading the impeachment inquiry dismissed the lawsuit as a delay tactic and threatened contempt. Kupperman was present during the July 25 call where President Trump allegedly pressured Ukrainian President Zelensky to investigate political opponents. House Democrats are keen to hear from Kupperman and John Bolton as part of the inquiry.
