“It is unprecedented that they (Republicans. - RT ) were denied. This violates the foundations of the process ... The House does not give the minority the right in the committees to make requests, ”the White House representative said.
However, he noted that earlier during the impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, the minority in the House of Representatives was allowed to participate in the investigation on equal terms.
According to him, "this ensures that the investigation will be one-sided, one-sided by one party."
In September, Pelosi announced the start of the Trump impeachment procedure due to his telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said some members of Congress are harassing the Department of State in connection with Democrats' attempts to remove Trump from power.
According to him, some members of Congress contacted employees of the State Department directly and tried to force them to “provide documents” belonging to the department.
In turn, Trump accused Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi of high treason and advocated for her "immediate impeachment."
