"We've made dramatic progress in answering some of the questions surrounding that July phone call... in which the President of the United States sought to coerce a vulnerable ally into conducting what can best be described as sham investigations involving his opponent," Schiff told reporters. Trump: probe is 'witch hunt'Trump lashed out at the probe Tuesday as House Democrats interviewed a State Department official about his role between the White House and Giuliani and Ukraine, and prepared to question three more diplomats this week. Trump has admitted asking Zelensky for help to investigate Biden, but said it was for legitimate suspicions of corruption and not political reasons. The White House meanwhile Tuesday questioned the investigation's legitimacy in refusing to turn over budget office, Pentagon and vice presidential documents related to the Ukraine dealings. Schiff: White House 'stonewalling'Schiff accused the White House of stonewalling the investigation and said that could be added to impeachment charges.
