A defiant White House says it won’t participate in ‘unconstitutional’ impeachment inquiry

LA Times  

In a stunning 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 that could send a momentous legal battle to the Supreme Court. If the White House doesn’t comply with the House subpoenas and investigation, the dispute is “going to go to the Supreme Court,” said Elaine Kamarck, a fellow in governance studies at the nonpartisan Brookings Institution, and it will be difficult for the executive branch to argue Congress doesn’t have the power to subpoena the White House as part of its oversight and impeachment powers. It’s not a legal argument.” But the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, refused to say what changes in procedure would prompt Trump to cooperate with the investigation, nor would the White House promise to cooperate in the event the House held an impeachment vote, as is demanded in the letter. “The president has a country to lead.” House Democrats separately issued a subpoena late Tuesday to Gordon Sondland, U.S. ambassador to the European Union, to force him to testify and turn over documents and text messages, apparently from a private device, regarding the president’s dealings with Ukraine. In a tweet, Trump said Sondland would not appear because “unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court, where Republican’s rights have been taken away.” Sondland, a key player in the unfolding impeachment scandal, was scheduled to answer questions Tuesday from the three House committees but pulled out at the last minute after the State Department directed him not to cooperate.
