U.S. representative Zoe Lofgren on Friday argued during the Senate impeachment trial that President Donald Trump's order to top U.S. officials not to testify before the U.S. House of Representatives is obstruction of justice.

Lofgren furthered her point by saying that, "In the history of our republic, no president ever dared to issue an order to prevent even a single government witness from testifying in an impeachment inquiry." House Democrats argued Friday that President Trump improperly obstructed Congress’ probe of his interactions with Ukraine.
