democrats in the us have warned president trump he is not above the law, after the white house said it would not co—operate with the impeachment inquiry, rejecting it as "baseless" and "constitutionally invalid". the inquiry is trying to find out whether the president held back aid to ukraine in order to push its government to investigate joe biden, who is running for the democratic presidential nomination. our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. a clash at the heart of american government. the white house flexing its muscle and refusing to have anything to do with the democrats' impeachment enquiry in the house of representatives. in an eight—page letter, the president's lawyer says the enquiry "violates fundamental fairness" and "lacks any legitimate constitutional foundation". it accuses the democrats of seeking to "overturn the results of the 2016 election" and "deprive the american people of the president they've freely chosen". the white house believes the enquiry is flawed because it is moving forward without a vote on the floor of the house of representatives.
