Washington, D.C. 20520 C/o Ronald J. Tenpas, Esq. Vinson & Elkins 2200 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Suite 500 West Washington, D.C. 20037 Dear Mr. Brechbuhl: Pursuant to the House of Representatives' impeachment inquiry, we are hereby transmitting a subpoena that compels you to appear at a deposition on November 6, 2019, at 9:30 a.m., at The Capitol, HVC-304. This deposition will be conducted jointly by the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and the Committee on Oversight and Reform. The deposition transcript shall be part of the impeachment inquiry and shared among the Committees. Your failure or refusal to appear at the deposition, including at the direction or behest of the President, the White House, or the State Department, shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House's impeachment inquiry and may be used as an adverse inference against the President. On September 27, 2019, the Committees sent a letter to you requesting that you voluntarily appear for a deposition on October 8, 2019. Your counsel has informed us that you will not appear voluntarily for a deposition. The Committees, therefore, have no choice but to issue a subpoena compelling your mandatory appearance. If you have any questions, please contact staff for the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence at (202) 225-7690. PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
