I still don’t get why WH lawyers would have anything to say about an EO like that. It’s not Trump doing something. Don’t WH lawyers just vet what the POTUS does to make sure it’s legal? If they had a problem with the EO wouldn’t they have said seomthing int 2918 when it was signed?
Well, it could just be noise or lawyers trying to claim some relevance too. If POTUS is going all in he’s going to be in a Nat Sec environment that doesn’t have much in the way of time for legal review.
