NEW: House Judiciary Chair Nadler on Pres. Trump declining to send a lawyer to represent him at this week's impeachment hearing: 'His response is unfortunate because allowing the President to participate has been a priority for the House from the outset.'
President Donald Trump said Monday that he did not plan to send a lawyer to represent him before the House's impeachment hearing this week"because the whole thing is a hoax."
The House impeachment inquiry is this week moving into its next phase, as the House Intelligence Committee on Monday planned to transmit its findings to the House Judiciary Committee, which could draw up potential articles of impeachment. "I never talked to the president from the position of a quid pro quo. That’s not my thing," Zelenskiy told TIME and several European publications."I don’t want us to look like beggars. But you have to understand. We’re at war. If you’re our strategic partner, then you can’t go blocking anything for us. I think that’s just about fairness. It’s not about a quid pro quo. It just goes without saying.
The absence of White House participation follows weeks of vocal protests from the president and Republicans in Congress, who have accused Democrats of blocking their due process rights. The Wednesday hearing will include legal experts as witnesses and is titled,"The Impeachment Inquiry into President Donald J. Trump: Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment,” as Democrats in the House decide whether to draft articles of impeachment.
