White House says it will not cooperate with House impeachment probe

The White House on Tuesday said it would not cooperate with the impeachment inquiry launched by House Democrats, citing in part the decision by lawmakers to proceed without a full vote of the House of Representatives.

"You have designed and implemented your inquiry in a manner that violates fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process," White House Counsel Pat Cipollone wrote in a letter to U.S. House Democratic leaders. (Writing by Lisa Lambert; Editing by Tim Ahmann)
