Mike Pence In The Hot Seat With Dems Demanding Documents From Him, Too

Oh, dear. Vice president Mike Pence will have a lot to do in the next 10 days, should he choose to comply with the letter he has just received from the top Democrats of the Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, and Oversight committees in the House.

Reps. Elliot Engel, Adam Schiff, and Elijah Cummings sent a demand to Pence with a long list of documents he must produce, pursuant to the impeachment inquiry related to Trump's pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. When the news broke of the letter and document request, CNN's Brooke Baldwin asked Samantha Vinograd what exactly the Dems were looking for.

VINOGRAD: They're looking for any indication that Vice President Pence was knowledgeable about president Trump's private efforts to put pressure on president Trump. Leave aside any public indications, these documents are geared at getting information that Pence was in the know with respect to their phone calls.

Pence has been playing the ignorance is bliss card ever since he came into office.

BALDWIN: Remind us. Give us examples.
