Hold uncooperative Trump officials in contempt

President Trump has made it clear that he and his administration will not comply with the U.S. House’s legitimate impeachment inquiry. In response, the House must hold ANY Trump official who ignores subpoenas, refuses to testify, or otherwise obstructs justice in contempt.

Why is this important?

President Trump is once again putting himself above the law, claiming the House’s impeachment inquiry is "illegitimate" and "unconstitutional" and refusing to comply with any inquiry-related subpoenas.

Despite the president's obstinacy, the House must do everything it can to make sure the inquiry moves forward -- and that any Trump administration officials who are implicated by it are held accountable.

That includes holding anyone who attempts to obstruct the investigation "in contempt" -- a serious procedure that can result in fines and even jail time for uncooperative witnesses.

This administration has proven that subpoenas alone won't be enough. Congress must use every tool it has to rein in this president who consistently abuses his power -- and show a strong, unified response to the administration’s obstruction.

Add your name to tell Congress: hold any Trump official who refuses to comply with the House’s impeachment inquiry in contempt.
