THE  WHITE HOUSE


                                    WASHINGTON

                                    December 6, 2019


The Honorable Jerrold Nadler
Chairman
Committee on the Judiciary
United States House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Chairman Nadler:

       As you know, your impeachment inquiry is completely baseless and has violated basic
principles of due process and fundamental fairness. Nevertheless, the Speaker of the House
yesterday ordered House Democrats to proceed with articles of impeachment before your
Committee has heard a single shred of evidence.

       House Democrats have wasted enough of America's time with this charade. You should
end this inquiry now and not waste even more time with additional hearings. Adopting articles
of impeachment would be a reckless abuse of power by House Democrats, and would constitute
the most unjust, highly partisan, and unconstitutional attempt at impeachment in our Nation's
history. Whatever course you choose, as the President has recently stated: if you are going to
impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can
get back to business.


                                       Sincer





                                           A. Cipollone
                                       Counsel to the President
