As Sunday morning political talk shows debated and discussed the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump and his dealings with Ukraine, there was a glaring absence from their lineups: White House officials.

Last week, senior White House adviser Stephen Miller defended Trump on “Fox News Sunday.” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave interviews to ABC’s “This Week” and CBS’s “Face the Nation” the week before.

This week birthed several major developments regarding impeachment and Trump’s push for foreign leaders to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, his potential Democratic opponent in the 2020 presidential election.

But not a single White House official made the Sunday morning rounds this week on the “big five” networks: ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and CNN.

The White House did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

Jake Tapper, host of CNN’s “State of the Union,” said Sunday that his show invited the White House to participate, but it did not offer a guest. Trump’s personal attorneys, Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow, as well as top Republicans in the House and Senate were also invited but either declined or did not respond, he said.

A spokesperson for Fox News said the network was unable to book a White House official for Sunday’s program.

“We reached out for relevant White House guests and we were told they were unavailable, so we went with bipartisan members of the House Intelligence committee leading the impeachment inquiry,” the spokesperson told HuffPost in a statement.

ABC, CBS and NBC did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s requests for comment about whether White House officials also snubbed their programs.
