White House says Democrats' new impeachment plan still a 'scam'

• The White House on Tuesday rejected a plan by congressional Democrats to bring the impeachment inquiry.
• The "Democrats' impeachment has been an illegitimate sham from the start as it lacked any proper authorization by a House vote.
• The revamped procedures announced in the House earlier Tuesday.

The "Democrats' impeachment has been an illegitimate sham from the start as it lacked any proper authorization by a House vote," Trump spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said in a statement.

The revamped procedures announced in the House earlier Tuesday do "nothing to change the fundamental fact that House Democrats refuse to provide basic due process rights," she said.
