The White House does not plan to organize a “war room†to respond to an impeachment inquiry like the strategy used by the Clinton administration, President Trump’s attorney Jay Sekulow told Axios.
"We have just handled a major investigation that was multifaceted and multi-jurisdictional,†Sekulow told the publication.
“There was no war room. We responded as appropriate. We won that battle,†he added, referencing special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, in which Mueller determined he could not exonerate Trump on potential obstruction of justice or establish that members of the Trump campaign “conspired or coordinated with the Russian government†on election meddling.
The impeachment inquiry, which will concern allegations Trump pressured Ukrainian officials to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden’s son under threat of withholding military aid, will “be handled the same way,†Sekulow said.
