Dear Mr. President:

Earlier this week, Chairman Schiff announced that the House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) is ?preparing a report summarizing the evidence we have
found this far, which will be transmitted to the Judiciary Committee soon after Congress returns
from the Thanksgiving recess.?1 That report will describe, among other things, ?a months-long
effort in which President Trump again sought foreign interference in our elections for his
personal and political benefit at the expense of our national interest? and ?an unprecedented
campaign of obstruction in an effort to prevent the Committees from obtaining documentary
evidence and testimony.?2 As you are also aware, the Judiciary Committee has been engaged in
an investigation concerning allegations that you may have engaged in acts of obstruction of
justice, as detailed in Special Counsel Robert Mueller?s Report on the Investigation into Russian
Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election. For detailed discussion of the scope of the
impeachment inquiry, I refer you to the report accompanying House Resolution 660.

In anticipation of our consideration of these matters, I am writing to determine if your
counsel will seek to exercise the speci?c privileges set forth in the Judiciary Committee?s
Impeachment Procedures adopted pursuant to H. Res. 660 and participate in the upcoming
impeachment proceedings. In particular, please provide the Committee with notice of whether
your counsel intends to participate, specifying which of the privileges your counsel seeks to
exercise, no later than 5:00 pm on December 6, 2019.

I look forward to your prompt response.

 

Chairman Adam Schiff, H. Permanent Select Comm. On Intelligence, Dear Colleague from Chairman
Adam Schi? on Next Steps for Impeachment Inquiry, Nov; 25, 2019.
