California Rep. Eric Swalwell joined ABC News' "Powerhouse Politics" podcast Wednesday, calling out President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, for an alleged "shakedown scheme" involving Ukraine and at least four men who have recently been arrested on campaign finance charges.

When prompted on how House Democrats will respond if Giuliani continues to refuse to cooperate with a wide-ranging subpoena from the House Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees, Swalwell said they will take it as a guilty plea.
