President Donald Trump continually ignores requests for cooperation in the impeachment inquiry, in spite of the House vote on a resolution to formalize the process after Capitol Hill and the Republican Party’s criticism, Newsweek reported.
So far, the White House has refused to comply with subpoenas and document requests from the House committees that fall under the umbrella of an impeachment inquiry and requested that others both inside and outside the administration do the same. Many are cooperating anyway.
Even after the House vote on Thursday, Trump is holding firm on his position, telling the Washington Examiner that he does not intend to work with the impeachment inquiry or honor any of its requests: “You are setting a terrible precedent for other presidents.”
The White House and Republican lawmakers have focused on attacking the process by which House Democrats are conducting the impeachment inquiry, accusing them of denying Trump his rights and upending precedent. Constitutional scholars have said such claims are baseless.
