The Senate impeachment court has served a subpoena on Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio’s chief of staff, requiring the official to testify next week, as reported by BusinessWorld.
Prosecutors are preparing to continue presenting evidence that Ms. Duterte made threats against President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., which form part of the impeachment case. The chief of staff’s testimony is expected to shed light on the allegations.
Meanwhile, Malacañang has rejected the defense’s argument that Ms. Duterte’s statements did not constitute a threat against the President, maintaining that the remarks were serious and warranted the impeachment proceedings.
