The White House has said it refuses to cooperate with an ongoing investigation into possible measures to isolate President Donald Trump.
In an eight-page letter to House Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi, quoted by AFP, White House lawyer Pat Siboloni said the ongoing House inquiry was aimed at uncovering whether Trump had used his position by asking Kiev to open a corruption probe against Biden. The Democratic candidate for the presidential election "lacks the foundations of constitutional legitimacy and minimal manifestations of neutrality," adding that under these circumstances, "President Trump will not allow his administration to participate in this biased investigation."
"You are trying to cancel the results of the 2016 elections and deprive Americans of the president they chose freely," Siboloni said. Americans. ”
The confrontation between Trump and Democrats in Congress intensified after the US State Department prevented US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sundland from testifying before parliamentary committees as part of Trump's removal.
In return, Pelosi considered that the White House's refusal to cooperate with Congress in the ongoing investigation into the possibility of launching measures to isolate Trump "an attempt to conceal facts illegally."
Pelosi said in a statement that the White House announcement of its refusal to cooperate was "simply another attempt to hide the facts about the shameful efforts of the Trump administration to pressure foreign powers to intervene in the 2020 elections."
