House Democrats are examining whether there are grounds to impeach Trump based on a whistleblower's complaint that said the president asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to help investigate former Vice President and 2020 Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden and his son.
Lawmakers are looking at whether Trump jeopardized national security and the integrity of U.S. elections for personal political gain.
House Democrats on Friday subpoenaed the White House for documents they want to see as part of their impeachment investigation.
Trump has called the impeachment investigation a "hoax" and accused the media and Democrats of corruption.
According to a source, White House lawyers believe Trump can ignore lawmakers' requests until U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi holds a full House vote to formally approve an impeachment inquiry.
