White House Prepares Formal Objection to Impeachment Probe

Associated Press

   President Donald Trump said Friday the White House is preparing a
   letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi formally objecting to the
   Democrats' impeachment inquiry without an official vote. It's expected
   to say the administration won't cooperate with the probe without that
   vote -- but he also said he believes it will pass.

   Trump acknowledged that Democrats in the House "have the votes" to
   begin a formal impeachment inquiry, even if they don't in the Senate.
   But he also said he believes the move will backfire politically.

   "I really believe that they're going to pay a tremendous price at the
   polls," he said.
