Trump won't send a White House lawyer to the next impeachment hearing
WASHINGTON – Continuing its refusal to cooperate with impeachment investigators, the White House said Friday it will not be sending a lawyer or any other official to a House Judiciary Committee hearing next week – or likely ever.
In response to a request made last Friday by Nadler, the White House protested that the House is already drawing up impeachment articles. The House Judiciary Committee, which is developing articles of impeachment against the president, has a hearing scheduled for Monday. Democratic and Republican counsels are scheduled to brief members on evidence gathered by three different House committees.
The exchange of letters came as White House officials are already talking with senators about how to approach a likely impeachment trial.
