White House won’t participate in impeachment hearings, tells Nadler to 'end this inquiry now’ Fox News, Dec 6, 2019
[...]
Friday was the deadline for Trump to respond to Nadler's request for participation in committee proceedings.
But instead of giving House Democrats a direct "no" answer, Cipollone penned a two-paragraph letter derailing the entire process.
"As you know, your impeachment inquiry is completely baseless and has violated basic principles of due process and fundamental fairness," he wrote. "Nevertheless, the Speaker of the House yesterday ordered House Democrats to proceed with articles of impeachment before your Committee has heard a single shred of evidence.”
A senior administration official, though, made it clear they won't be participating, telling Fox News: "We don’t see any reason to participate because the process is unfair. Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi has already announced the predetermined result. They will not give us the ability to call any witnesses.”

I see that as a distinct possibility as well @austingirl but I don't discount the democrats' methods for whipping votes when it comes to things like this.
I sincerely hope this blows up in their faces in the house but have no doubt that it's going nowhere in the senate.
We will never again be truly FREE people for so long as we continue to abide the Marxist Income Tax Code and the IRS!
