House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) sent a letter to Vice President Pence on Friday requesting that he declassify more material from one of his aides' testimony in the House impeachment investigation.
The request centered around the testimony of Jennifer Williams, a career foreign service officer and staffer to Pence, who testified that a conversation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was "unusual, and more of a political nature."
"Today, the House Intelligence Committee sent the following letter to Vice President Mike Pence requesting that the Office of the Vice President, or another relevant classification authority, declassify supplemental testimony provided by Jennifer Williams to the Committee, as noted in our report," an intelligence panel aide told The Hill.
"While Ms. Williams already testified generally to the phone call in question, declassification of this supplemental testimony will allow the Congress to see further corroborative evidence as it considers articles of impeachment, and provide the public further understanding of the events in question," the official added.
Schiff wrote in the letter that he was requesting that Pence declassify the contents of a Sept. 18 call he had with Zelensky. Williams had initially testified about the call but said at a subsequent hearing that details of the conversation had been classified.
