ADVERTISEMENTIn vowing to halt all cooperation with House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, the White House on Tuesday labeled the investigation “illegitimate” based on its own reading of the Constitution’s vague language. The White House document lacked much in the way of legal arguments, seemingly citing cable TV news appearances as often as case law. After two weeks of a listless and unfocused response to the impeachment probe, the White House letter amounted to a declaration of war. Democrats have said that if the White House does not provide the information, they could write an article of impeachment on obstruction of justice. House Democrats are seeking grand jury testimony from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation as they conduct the impeachment inquiry.
