'You have designed and implemented your inquiry in a manner that violates fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process,' White House Counsel Pat Cipollone said in a letter to House leaders.
David JacksonWASHINGTON – The White House will not provide documents or witnesses to impeachment investigators until the U.S. House creates a fairer process, President Donald Trump and his team told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders on Tuesday.
In discussing the letter last week, officials said Trump might demand a full House vote to authorize the impeachment inquiry. The letter itself stopped short of such a demand, but did protest the absence of a full vote as one of the unfair things about the letter. Trump is also under criticism for asking China to investigate Biden and his son, who also had business dealings in that country. Chinese officials have rejected Trump's request.
Cipollone protested what he described as a number of irregularities in the investigation, slamming Democrats for not allowing the administration to cross examine witnesses, receive transcripts of testimony or have access to evidence. The process used by the Democrats, Cipollone argued, is an overreach of congressional authority.
