The White House is pushing back against House Republicans and their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, demanding that GOP lawmakers withdraw their subpoenas targeting Biden family members and administration officials.
In a letter obtained by NBC News, White House counsel Richard Sauber called the requests for information and interviews “unjustified,” and characterized the overall impeachment inquiry as “illegitimate.”
The letter was sent in response to the latest steps taken by House Republicans, which included subpoenas and requests for interviews directed to multiple members of the President’s family, all of whom are private citizens. This includes a subpoena issued to President Biden’s son, Hunter, and the former White House counsel, Dana Remus.
Sauber wrote that the requests for interviews and documents “are not only unjustified but also a misuse of the impeachment process.” He added that the White House “will not cooperate with this illegitimate inquiry.”
The White House’s response comes as House Republicans continue to investigate the Biden administration, with the latest subpoenas and requests for interviews being the latest in a series of actions taken by the GOP.
The White House has made it clear that it will not cooperate with the House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry, and has called on them to withdraw their subpoenas and requests for interviews. It remains to be seen how the GOP will respond to the White House’s demands.
