Democrats had accused Donald Trump of witness intimidation
The Democratic congressman leading the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump said Trump's attack on former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch on Friday was part of a pattern of intimidating witnesses.
"This is a part of a pattern to intimidate witnesses, and it's also part of a pattern to obstruct the investigation. It was also a part, frankly, of the pattern to obstruct justice," Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told reporters after Trump launched a Twitter attack on Ms Yovanovitch while she was testifying before the panel.
