Here is the text of the White House's letter sent to congressional Democrats, saying the Trump administration won't cooperate with their impeachment inquiry.

As the battle over impeachment intensified, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in response to the letter that "continued efforts to hide the truth of the president's abuse of power from the American people will be regarded as further evidence of obstruction."

The letter was released by the White House late Tuesday.
