White House calls impeachment effort “baseless”

The White House is insisting that the House GOP impeachment effort is “baseless.” Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is referring all specific impeachment-related questions to the White House counsel. But she denounced the process as a “political stunt.” She said there’s no evidence of wrong-doing “because the president didn’t do anything wrong.” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy approved the formal impeachment inquiry this week, citing “allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption.”
