The President has done nothing wrong, and the Democrats know it. For purely political reasons, the Democrats have decided their desire to overturn the outcome of the 2016 election allows them to conduct a so-called impeachment inquiry that ignores the fundamental rights guaranteed to every American. These partisan proceedings are an affront to the Constitution—as they are being held behind closed doors and deny the President the right to call witnesses, to cross-examine witnesses, to have access to evidence, and many other basic rights.
總統沒有做錯任何事情，民主黨人知道這點。出於純粹的政治原因，民主黨人決定推翻2016年大選結果的願望，使他們從事所謂的彈劾調查，而這種彈劾調查無視了每個美國人所享有的基本權利。這些黨派議程是對《憲法》的冒犯，因為它們是閉門進行的，剝奪了總統召集證人、詢問證人、獲得證據的權利以及許多其它基本權利。
Today, on behalf of President Donald J. Trump, Pat Cipollone, Counsel to the President, sent a letter to Speaker Pelosi and Chairmen Engel, Schiff, and Cummings. The letter demonstrates that the Democrats’ inquiry lacks any legitimate constitutional foundation, any pretense of fairness, and even the most elementary due process protections. Democrats are pursuing purely partisan goals, including influencing the upcoming 2020 election. In the process, they are violating civil liberties and the separation of powers, threatening Executive Branch officials with punishment simply for exercising their constitutional rights and prerogatives. All of this violates the Constitution, the rule of law, and every past precedent. For these reasons, the Executive Branch cannot be expected to, and will not participate in, this exercise of partisan political theater.
今天，代表總統唐納德·J·川普的律師帕特·西波隆 （Pat Cipollone）寫信致佩洛西議長，恩格爾、席夫和卡明斯主席。信中表明，民主黨的調查缺乏任何合法的憲法基礎，缺乏公正性，甚至缺乏最基本的正當程序措施。民主黨正在追求純粹的黨派目標，包括影響即將到來的2020年大選。在此過程中，他們侵犯了公民自由權利和三權分立，用懲罰來威脅行政部門官員，僅僅因為他們行使其憲法權利和憲法賦予的特權。所有這些都違反了憲法，法制和過去的所有的案例。由於這些原因，不要期望行政部門、行政部門也不會參與這種黨派政治的活動。
President Trump and his entire Administration will, however, keep fighting for the American people, growing the economy, building prosperity, and protecting America’s interests at home and abroad.
但是，川普總統及其整個政府將繼續為美國人民而戰，發展經濟，持續繁榮，並保護美國在國內外的利益。
