In an extraordinary show of defiance, the White House said Tuesday it would refuse to “participate” in the House impeachment inquiry, setting up a direct constitutional clash between the two co-equal branches of government.
Rejecting what he called “your baseless unconstitutional efforts to overturn the democratic process,” Cipollone said Trump and his administration “cannot participate in your partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances.
Two south Florida businessmen who worked with Rudolph W. Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer and back-channel emissary in Ukraine, will not give voluntary depositions Thursday, according to the Miami Herald.as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, is still scheduled to appear behind closed doors on Thursday but may run into the same State Department restrictions as Sondland.
I’ve you don’t vote you have nothing to say !
These worked their whole lives to have a good Reputation which is now in the Toilet.
FALSE REPORT. What President Trump said is he won’t participate in the Democrats current fraud and scam. In order for an impeachment inquiry to occur, the House of Representatives, currently controlled by Demonrats, needs to formally vote for it. What are Dems afraid of?
Why would anyone volunteer for this liberal farce? No due process? Who is the accuser? The whistleblower has no 1st hand evidence. The transcript is out, and Ukraine president says 'no push' or no pressure. Trump has the legal right to ask Ukraine to cooperate in investigation.
Awesome! Dems and their crazy bogus lies they are all corrupt they can’t stop making up stories the desperation is so obvious🤪😁🤣😂🥳🤡🎪🍿
eternal life is available thru Jesus all invited , travel speed of thought
after 5 investigations f==k off
Here comes his Dictator declaration!
T Going In,Excellent!👍🏿😏
Until there is a Congressional vote there is no Impeachment therefore no need to participate
Then they should hold a vote and make it official. This is it/isn’t it an impeachment hearing is what’s unconstitutional. Put your name on the dotted line with an up or down vote, or go home, Dems.
WH is not a participant it's a perp....
Not a lawyer, scholar or political science major but, I don’t think the WhiteHouse has much choice. Right?
It’s. Not. An. Official. Inquiry. Yet.
The letter by the White House Counsel is brilliant. Time to play offense. This is pure politics by pro-impeachment forces—so time to smash back with better political arguments.
Is that an option?
so exhausting...take a vote and get him out already!
This is indeed a very dark and dangerous time for our country...
Shocker!
Davidlaz I'm definitely not a constitutional scholar, but this is not how any of this works, right?
Its not a f$&king survey !
Davidlaz this man have no respect not even constitution he respect
The whole thing is farce.
Agreed. How can ANYONE take these stupid DimaRats serious? EVER! 🤔🤓💪🇺🇸
Republican congressman are more educated & intelligent than the Dems. Rep per Rep the Republicans hold higher and more relevant degrees than their counterparts in the House and Senate. Maxine Waters has a Bachelors in Sociology from Cal State LA and she runs the Finance Committee
Innocent people don’t act like this. Start the impeachment hearings
I'd have those people that do not show arrested and fined!
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
So what exactly do we do when they say “We don’t have to do democracy with you?” What is the recourse?
Seems like Dems need to put up or shut up. Either have the Vote to begin official process or move on. Of course they are just playing games and people can see that.
That's ridículos
This is a full-on constitutional crisis.

Good because the process is not following protocol.
good lord
Why the fuck do I even do anything if the President of the United States had a letter written on his behalf saying he’s above the law? DoDopeFuckHope
:)
this is not an option you have, you embarrassing criminals. So many people are going to end up going to jail for chump's hubris.
Get him tf outta there!
The only constitutional clash is the house not taking a vote, interviewing “witnesses” in secret with no Republican cross examination and leaking partial texts to make it look bad when it’s not.
Schiff: 'It's starting to look like this may be more evidence of potential obstruction'.
Excellent!
ThreeWomen_ Doesn’t Congress have the power to subpoena anyone?
carolekingnyc That’s just not going to work. Now you know Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi, time to start holding people in contempt and arresting them.
