House Withdraws Impeachment Subpoena To Ex-NSC Aide [View all]

Lawyers for House impeachment investigators dropped their subpoena to compel a former National Security Council official to testify before Congress.
House Democrats said in a new court filing Wednesday they had dropped their subpoena of former deputy national security adviser Charles Kupperman on Tuesday and did not intend to reissue it.

Kupperman was subpoenaed in late October, but he did not appear for testimony because he wanted to wait for the courts to determine whether he had to comply. President Trump directed Kupperman to not appear citing testimonial immunity for his closest advisers.
