Trump also said he was elected to bring U.S. troops home: "People are extremely thrilled because it's time to bring our people home."— Eli Stokols (@EliStokols) October 7, 2019

They aren't responding to subpoenas in an impeachment inquiry, what makes you think they're coming to Congress to explain what Trump tweeted?
