WASHINGTON – Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday refused to turn over documents requested by House Democrats as part of their impeachment inquiry.

The White House has said it will not cooperate with an investigation it considers unfair and illegitimate, a claim it bases in part on the fact that the House has not formally voted to begin impeachment proceedings.

Pence's attorney echoed that reasoning in a letter sent Tuesday to the chairmen of the investigating committees.

Counsel Matthew E. Morgan also wrote that some of the documents that Democrats had asked Pence to produce by Tuesday "are clearly not vice-presidential records."

"Please know that if the Committees wish to return to the regular order of legitimate legislative oversight requests, and the Committees have appropriate requests for information solely in the custody of the Office of the Vice President," Morgan wrote, "we are prepared to work with you in a manner consistent with well-established bipartisan constitutional protections and a respect for the separation of powers."

House Democrats did not immediately say Tuesday whether they will subpoena Pence for the documents.

They have warned the White House that failure to comply with requests for documents and witnesses can be evidence of obstruction, a potentially impeachable offense.

“The case for obstruction of Congress continues to build,” Rep. Adam Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, said at a joint news conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Tuesday night.

Pelosi restated her position that a House vote is not needed under the Constitution to launch an impeachment investigation.

“There’s no requirement that we have a vote so at this time we will not be having a vote,” Pelosi said.
