In a letter to top House Democrats, the White House told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and three committee chairmen that it won’t participate in the “highly partisan and unconstitutional” impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
The Oct. 8 letter from White House counsel Pat Cipollone says the inquiry “violates fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process,” and he called on House members to cease their impeachment efforts.
