Former deputy national security adviser declines to show for impeachment inquiry deposition Monday

President Donald Trump's former deputy national security adviser Charles Kuppermandefied a congressional subpoena Monday, failing to appear for a closed-door deposition before House impeachment investigators and throwing a new hurdle into Democrats' plans to quickly gather evidence in their inquiry.
But Democrats said that attempts by Kupperman and others not to comply with subpoenas will not delay their impeachment investigation, regardless of whether they decide to go to court to try to enforce the subpoenas.
"We are not willing to allow the White House to engage us in a lengthy game of rope-a-dope in the courts," House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said Monday after Kupperman did not appear.
