Trump signals White House may not comply with House Judiciary requests
CNBC ^ | 05 MAR 19 | Christina Wilkie | @christinawilkie

President Donald Trump on Tuesday appeared to suggest that the White House may refuse to comply with a slew of requests for documents sent this week by House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler, N.Y.

Speaking at a White House event, Trump cited what he said was the Obama administration's approach to handling document requests related to Congressional investigations: "They didn't give one letter. They didn't do anything. They didn't give one letter of the requests," Trump said.

Trump's comment came one day after the president sounded a much more conciliatory note, telling reporters on Monday that he "cooperates with everybody."

This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.

REFUSE Mr. President. Also use "I don't recall" and "I plead the 5th" like Hillary and her ilk did.

Note that President-Journalist Trump had to publish this breaking news about the Kenyan’s approach to Congress himself - because the Democrat EneMedia refuses to change their lying Narrative.

Good for him.

Tell that POS Nadler to stuff it and let them whine.

It should be absolutely illegal to “investigate” your political opposition if there’s no evidence of a crime having been committed. But, then again, the RATS don’t care about destroying our country - that’s their mission in life.

That’s exactly what he should do. Trump’s lawyers should also publicly ask whether the subpoenaed parties get to testify without taking the oath like Hillary’s people did.

Yes he is. I looked at his face on tv. That mouth hasn’t smiled in years. He must have been a miserable child because his face obviously froze that way.

Trump should be as cooperative as Attorney General Holder was when he was held to be in criminal and civil contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over documents that were subpoenaed by Congress, as part of a legitimate oversight investigation.

The Democrats under Obama and Holder set the bar for cooperating with Congress, Trump should simply refer to that precedent and tell Nadler and the other Committee chairmen to eff off.

I need a better source unless the MSM is tempting him to add fuel to Nadler’s fire.
