White House won't take part in House Judiciary impeachment hearings

The White House claims House Democrats' impeachment hearings are 'baseless' and refuses to take part

So far, the Trump administration’s strategy for the final stages of the House impeachment process has been to refuse to engage unless certain demands are met, blast Democrats from the outside in the meantime and wait for a friendlier Senate landscape.

The White House didn’t send anyone to fill the seats the House Intelligence Committee reserved for Trump officials during the two weeks of impeachment hearings that concluded late last month. Instead, informal Trump allies peppered the audience, including former 2016 deputy campaign manager David Bossie and a few House GOP members, including Reps Matt Gaetz and Mark Meadows , who are not on the Intelligence Committee.
