‘This scam’: White House says impeachment resolution denies Trump due process — WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 28: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) reads a statement before questioning U.S. Attorney General William Barr during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in the Congressional Auditorium at the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center July 28, 2020 in Washington, DC. In his first congressional testimony in more than a year, Barr is expected to face questions from the committee about his deployment of federal law enforcement agents to Portland, Oregon, and other cities in response to Black Lives Matter protests; his role in using federal agents to violently clear protesters from Lafayette Square near the White House last month before a photo opportunity for President Donald Trump in front of a church; his intervention in court cases involving Trump's allies Roger Stone and Michael Flynn; and other issues. | (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

The White House rejected as unfair a resolution by Democrats that will formalize an impeachment inquiry that began last month.

The resolution, which could pass the House as early as this week, outlines some rights for Republicans but keeps most power with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who has been deposing witnesses in closed-door hearings.
