BREAKING: White House sends letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying Trump administration 'cannot be expected to participate in' House impeachment investigation.
The White House sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday calling into question what it referred to as"points of irregularity in the investigation."
Among the arguments, the White House raised concerns that House Republicans are unable to call witnesses as part of the growing impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. In almost all congressional proceedings, the rules are set by the majority party including calling of witnesses and hearings.
In response to Pompeo, Democratic Chairmen Adam Schiff, Eliot Engel and Elijah Cummings wrote that"the failure of any of these Department employees to appear for their scheduled depositions shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House’s impeachment inquiry."
