Plot to this Judiciary Committee. This is the committee that will be writing articles of impeachment against the president. This breaks with bipartisan precedent. In the nixon and clinton impeachment investigations, those president s cooperated. Even past president s who faced allegation of corruption wanted to show cop raugs. Who is going to defend you better than your own paid employees . Skipping the hearing also denies trump the opportunity to offer defenses on the record.
