White House refuses House Judiciary's request for documents thehill.com/policy/nationa…
The White House is rejecting a sweeping request from the House Judiciary Committee for documents, suggesting the panel is attempting a "do-over" of the Russia probe and calling on it to narrow its scope.
“...we respect the authority of Congress to make legitimate requests for information to aid it in the task of legislating and will work with the Committee through the constitutionally mandated accommodation process to provide the Committee with information it can properly seek,”
“It would greatly advance the first step in that process if the Committee were to narrow the sweeping scope of the requests...articulate the legislative purpose and legal support for each of the disparate requests it wishes to pursue..."- White House counsel Pat Cipollone
