Pence's counsel, Matthew Morgan, said in a letter to three Democratic lawmakers leading the inquiry that the scope of documents requested included some "which are clearly not vice-presidential records, pursuant to a self-proclaimed 'impeachment inquiry.'"
Morgan said Pence's office was prepared to work with the committees if they "wish to return to the regular order of legitimate legislative oversight requests, and the Committees have appropriate requests for information solely in the custody of the Office of the Vice President."
