Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Saturday that he had responded to the House committees seeking documents in their impeachment inquiry of President Trump, but congressional investigators say they are still waiting for Pompeo to comply with their subpoena.

Also, Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union ensnared in the impeachment inquiry of President Trump, has agreed to meet behind closed doors Tuesday with the three panels — Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and House Oversight — spearheading the probe, according to a committee aide. On Saturday, the official confirmed the schedule on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

His remarks came as Democratic-led House committees leading the impeachment investigation said that Pompeo failed to meet a Friday deadline to deliver subpoenaed State Department documents to them. “However, the State Department has contacted the committees on this matter, and we hope the Department will cooperate in full promptly,” a committee official said.

Pompeo repeated charges made a week ago that those leading the congressional inquiries have “harassed and abused State Department employees” by contacting them directly and failing to go through proper channels to request testimony and documents. “I remember once, when I was on that side and we were looking for documents, I remember precisely how long it took for those documents to come across,” said Pompeo, a former House member from Kansas who, while in the majority, helped lead the Republican investigation of the Clinton-led State Departments actions in Benghazi, Libya after a 2012 terrorist attack killed four American officials.
