Four White House officials slated for closed-door depositions Monday not expected to show up on Capitol Hill despite threat of subpoena from committees leading impeachment inquiry into Pres. Trump related to Ukraine, multiple senior-level sources told ABC
Four White House officials slated for closed-door depositions Monday are not expected to show up on Capitol Hill despite the threat of subpoena from the committees leading the growing impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump related to Ukraine, multiple senior-level sources told ABC News.
The White House has pushed back on permitting current and former officials to comply with requests and subpoenas from Congress in part because White House lawyers have not been permitted inside the closed-door interviews. An attorney for Blair told the Financial Times that his client is not planning to attend Monday's hearing although his client has not been served with a subpoena.
Blair's position is similar to that of former deputy national security adviser Dr. Charles Kupperman. Kupperman took things a step further last week filing a civil lawsuit to seek input from a federal judge on whom to comply with -- his former employers at the White House who requested he not comply, or lawmakers on Capitol Hill that have subpoenaed him for testimony.
