As Democrats raise voices in support for President Donald Trump's impeachment, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani, on October 14 dismissed the subpoena from the congressional impeachment investigation. The political attorney called the inquiry "illegitimate" and "unconstitutional" refusing to turn over documents demanded by three Democrat-led committees. Reports cited that the Washinton Office of Management and Budget had also decided not to meet the October 14 deadline for turning over documents. It is still not decided and unclear who will hand over the documents - the Pentagon or Vice President Mike Pence.

Katie Hill's statement regarding John Bolton

Democrats have been trying to uncover facts about the whistleblower and his/her complaint ever since it came to light. They claim that Trump is the most corrupt President of modern times.

The current representative of the state of California, Katie Hill said her then-boss, former national security advisor John Bolton, grew alarmed by Giuliani's efforts, in conjunction with White House chief-of-staff Mick Mulvaney, to pressure Ukraine, reported US media. Katie is said to have testified that Bolton warned that Giuliani was a hand grenade who is going to blow everyone up.
