WASHINGTON (AP) – Republicans brought House Democrats’ impeachment investigation to a halt as around two dozen GOP House members stormed into a closed-door deposition with a Defense Department official. Democrats said the move compromised national security as some of them brought electronic devices into a secure room. The GOP maneuver delayed a deposition with senior Defense Department official Laura Cooper until mid-afternoon Wednesday, about five hours behind schedule.
