White House Stonewalls Testimony of Ambassador Sondland in Impeachment probe

(The Slice): Ambassador Gordon Sonland, the envoy whose name came up in the Ukriane phone call,  traveled to Washington from Brussels to testify Tuesday morning and was prevented by the State Department.  He was prepared to participate in a closed door deposition.  The White House and State Department had questions about the legal authority of Democrats to issue subpoenas. It was the White House Counsel that Adam Schiff says the White House is obstructing justice along the lines of preventing the Congress from acting as a co-equal branch of government.  The Ambassador has text messages and emails on a personal device that were provided to the State Department which Adam Schiff says are "deeply relevant" to the investigation.

A response from the president's Twitter feed this morning plainly  shows their WH strategy is to keep 

Sonland's documents and testimony from getting out to the public. . .

I would love to send Ambassador Sondland, a really good man and great American, to testify, but unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court, where Republican’s rights have been taken away, and true facts are not allowed out for the public....
