White House Will Resist Democratic Probes

“Republicans, privately and publicly, are beginning to argue that Democrats are bound to overreach, so there’s little incentive for the White House to turn over information to their foes looking for fresh ammunition. So, in the words of one senior Republican, the White House should ‘delay, delay and delay’ by not turning over documents immediately,” CNN reports.

“And if the House seeks to hold them in contempt, some Republican sources privately say, let them do so since there are no real consequences and punishing Trump officials may only serve to rally the GOP base.”
