Pompeo confirmed earlier Wednesday that he was on the call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky that is now at the center of the impeachment inquiry.He “should resign in disgrace, by the way,” Trump added, after again suggesting “shifty” Schiff committed treason.The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday announced plans to issue a subpoena to the White House for documents related to Ukraine as part of the impeachment inquiry.Subscribe to CNBC on YouTube.
