Dems work weekend on impeach

There’s no rest for the weary when it comes to impeachment.

The Democratic-led inquiry against President Trump barreled ahead Saturday with a senior State Department official delivering testimony in a rare weekend session.

Philip Reeker, the acting assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, appeared under subpoena in yet another crack in Trump’s effort to stonewall the probe.

Reeker, 54, is expected to testify about Trump’s abrupt dismissal of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch in May as the president stepped up efforts to bully Ukraine into launching bogus investigations into Democrats.

A career diplomat, Reeker (photo) sought to support Yovanovitch when Trump acolytes accused her of being disloyal to the president.

Trump is accused of improperly withholding $400 million in defense aid to Ukraine, which he used as leverage to get newly elected President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading Democratic contender to face Trump in the 2020 election, and his son Hunter, who had been a director of a Ukrainian energy company.

The closed-door session came after a two-day break for memorial services and a funeral for Rep. Elijah Cummings, the Baltimore lawmaker who was leading one of the impeachment committees.

Democrats also won a legal victory when a federal district court judge on Friday brushed aside a Republican claim that the impeachment inquiry is illegitimate because the full House had not voted to authorize it.

On Monday, Charles Kupperman, a former deputy national security adviser to Trump, is scheduled to appear.
