Mike Pence won’t comply with House Dems’ requests over impeachment inquiry
Vice President Mike Pence said he will not comply with House Democrats' requests for documents regarding their impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.
WASHINGTON - Vice President Mike Pence is refusing to comply with House Democrats' request for a long list of documents as part of its impeachment inquiry.
The vice president's counsel, Matthew E. Morgan, shared the news in a letter to the chairs of the investigating committees Tuesday evening. He's echoing President Donald Trump's lawyers' complaints that the House has not held a formal vote on the investigation.
Morgan is slamming what he's calling a "purported 'impeachment inquiry,'" claiming it "has been designed and implemented in a manner that calls into question" the members' "commitment to fundamental fairness and due process rights."
House Democrats are currently gauging support for a vote to formally authorize the impeachment inquiry in the face of White House stonewalling.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to meet privately with Democratic lawmakers later Tuesday to gauge support.
