White House Sends Letter to Congress: We will not Comply!

The White House Summarized in a Rebellious eight-page letter To House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats on Tuesday why it won't take part in their own "illegitimate and unconstitutional" impeachment question , charging that the event have run roughshod over congressional standards along with the president's due-process rights.

Trump government officials called the letter, That was composed by White House counselor Pat Cipollone and acquired from Fox News, possibly the most historical letter that the White House has delivered. The record tees a head-to-head crash with Democrats in Congress, who've fired off a ton of subpoenas in recent times regarding the president's alleged attempt for Ukraine to research political foe Joe Biden through a July telephone call using Ukraine's leader.

"President Trump and his administration reject your baseless, unconstitutional efforts to overturn the democratic process," the letter said. "Your unprecedented actions have left the president with no choice. In order to fulfill his duties to the American people, the Constitution, the Executive Branch, and all future occupants of the Office of the Presidency, President Trump and his administration cannot participate in your partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances."

The document concluded: "The president has a country to lead. The American people elected him to do this job, and he remains focused on fulfilling his promises to the American people."

Reacting to the letter, Pelosi accused Trump Of "trying to make lawlessness a virtue" and added," The American people have already heard the President's own words --'do us a favor.'" (That line, by a transcript of Trump's telephone with Ukraine's chief , in fact called Trump's petition for Ukraine to aid in an investigation to 2016 election hindrance, and didn't associate to Biden.)

Pelosi lasted : "This letter is manifestly wrong, and is simply another unlawful attempt to hide the facts of the Trump Administration's brazen efforts to pressure foreign powers to intervene in the 2020 elections. ... The White House should be warned that continued efforts to hide the truth of the President's abuse of power from the American people will be regarded as further evidence of obstruction. Mr. President, you are not above the law. You will be held accountable."

Substantively, the White House first noticed in its letter there hasn't been a formal vote at the House to start an impeachment question -- also that the news conference maintained by Pelosi last month was inadequate to initiate the event.

"In the history of our nation, the House of Representatives has never Attempted to launch an impeachment inquiry against the president without a majority of the House taking political accountability for that decision by voting to authorize such a dramatic constitutional step," the letter said.

It continued: "Without waiting to see what was actually said on the call, a press conference was held announcing an 'impeachment question' based on falsehoods and misinformation about the call."
