handle is hein.presidents/usgvtwht0221 and id is 1 raw text is: THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON December 6, 2019 The Honorable Jerrold Nadler Chairman Committee on the Judiciary United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Chairman Nadler: As you know, your impeachment inquiry is completely baseless and has violated basic principles of due process and fundamental fairness. Nevertheless, the Speaker of the House yesterday ordered House Democrats to proceed with articles of impeachment before your Committee has heard a single shred of evidence. House Democrats have wasted enough of America's time with this charade. You should end this inquiry now and not waste even more time with additional hearings. Adopting articles of impeachment would be a reckless abuse of power by House Democrats, and would constitute the most unjust, highly partisan, and unconstitutional attempt at impeachment in our Nation's history. Whatever course you choose, as the President has recently stated: if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can get back to business. Sincer A. Cipollone Counsel to the President cc: The Honorable Doug Collins, Ranking Member
