House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) released a statement late Tuesday in response to the White House’s assertion that it will not cooperate with the impeachment inquiry.
“For a while, the president has tried to normalize lawlessness,” Pelosi said in her statement. “Now, he is trying to make lawlessness a virtue. The American people have already heard the President’s own words—‘do us a favor, though.’ The president’s actions threaten our national security, violate our Constitution and undermine the integrity of our elections. The White House letter is only the latest attempt to cover up his betrayal of our democracy, and to insist that the president is above the law.”
