Mark Sandy, who has worked for the Office of Management and Budget for both Republican and Democratic presidents, is scheduled for testimony on Saturday.
"If he is subpoenaed he will appear for the deposition," said Barbara "Biz" Van Gelder, his attorney.
It would be the first time an official from the agency, which was responsible for releasing the security aid for Ukraine, would testify in the impeachment inquiry after multiple other officials ignored subpoenas. The security aid for Ukraine is at the center of the impeachment probe, as multiple officials have reported the aid was blocked to get Ukraine to take up investigations that would have benefited President Donald Trump's domestic political agenda.
Van Gelder said Sandy has not received a subpoena yet. The common practice so far during the impeachment inquiry has been that the House committees deliver the subpoena on the morning of the day of scheduled testimony.
The Washington Post first reported Sandy was expected to appear.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
