The House Intelligence Committee issued a subpoena for acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney on Thursday night, ordering him to testify in front of impeachment investigators on Friday.

One official working on the inquiry told The Associated Press that Mulvaney "could shed additional light on the president's abuse of power of his office for his personal gain." The White House has told officials not to cooperate with investigators, and Mulvaney is not expected to appear.

The House is investigating Trump's dealings with Ukraine, and last month, Mulvaney told reporters that Trump's decision to hold military aid to the country was connected to his desire for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch an investigation into the hacking of Democratic National Committee emails. Mulvaney later tried to take back his remarks.
