Nancy Pelosi Issues Impeachment Warning as White House Escalates Fight

(Bloomberg) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned that the Trump administration’s defiance of subpoenas could be an impeachable offense, even as the top White House lawyer instructed his predecessor not to comply with a subpoena from House Democrats.

White House Counsel Pat Cipollone said in a letter Tuesday to the House Judiciary Committee that President Donald Trump may want to assert executive privilege over the documents the panel is seeking from former counsel Don McGahn.

At the same time, Trump’s Justice Department is pushing back against a separate subpoena from the House Judiciary Committee for the full, unredacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

Trump and his Republican allies are trying to move past the Mueller probe, with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell calling it “case closed” in a floor speech Tuesday.

But Pelosi made clear that Democrats plan to press their multiple investigations of the president, accusing Trump of “goading" House Democrats into trying to remove him from office.

Hopefully at some point soon, we'll all be on the same page about what we're dealing with. Talking. Doesn't. Work.
