White House Refuses Demands for Documents, Testimony

The White House’s top lawyer told the House Judiciary Committee chairman that Congress has no right to a “do-over” of the special counsel’s investigation of President Trump and refused a broad demand for records and testimony from dozens of current and former White House staff, the Washington Post reports.

But White House counsel Pat Cipollone “stopped short of asserting executive privilege. Instead, he told Nadler he would consider a narrowed request if the chairman spells out the legislative purpose and legal support for the information he is seeking.”
