White House expected to bolster impeachment communications team -official

Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and former Treasury Department spokesman Tony Sayegh are expected to join the White House communications team to help with impeachment-related efforts, a senior administration official said on Wednesday.

The impeachment probe of President Donald Trump launched by Democrats in the House of Representatives in September will enter a new phase next week with the first public hearings.

Democrats have said Trump abused his office by pushing the president of Ukraine to pursue investigations that could help him politically.
