Link to tweet
Washington, D.C. Speaker Nancy Pelosi released this statement when the White House asserted that the Administration will not comply with House Committee subpoenas as part of the impeachment inquiry, making false claims about the Constitution, House rules and House precedent:
For a while, the President has tried to normalize lawlessness. Now, he is trying to make lawlessness a virtue. The American people have already heard the Presidents own words do us a favor, though. The Presidents actions threaten our national security, violate our Constitution and undermine the integrity of our elections. The White House letter is only the latest attempt to cover up his betrayal of our democracy, and to insist that the President is above the law.
This letter is manifestly wrong, and is simply another unlawful attempt to hide the facts of the Trump Administrations brazen efforts to pressure foreign powers to intervene in the 2020 elections. Despite the White Houses stonewalling, we see a growing body of evidence that shows that President Trump abused his office and violated his oath to protect, preserve and defend the Constitution.
The White House should be warned that continued efforts to hide the truth of the Presidents abuse of power from the American people will be regarded as further evidence of obstruction.
Mr. President, you are not above the law. You will be held accountable.

Trump literally is NOT being held accountable.

Otherwise, this doesn't do it for me.
