The White House has officially refused to co-operate with the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

A letter sent to Democratic leaders rejected it as “baseless” and “constitutionally invalid”.<\/p>\n

Three Democratic-led House committees are investigating Mr Trump.<\/p>\n

The inquiry is trying to find out if the president held back aid to Ukraine to push it to investigate Joe Biden, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination.<\/p>\n

White House counsel Pat Cipollone addressed the eight-page letter to the leading Democrat and House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and the three chairmen of the Democratic committees.<\/p>\n

He accused the leaders of setting up an inquiry “that violates fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process” – specifically by not holding a vote on launching the inquiry.<\/p>\n

The letter accuses Democrats of trying to change the 2016 election result, and attacks the investigation as “constitutionally invalid and a violation of due process”.<\/p>\n
