The White House has directed former officials Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson not to turn over any documents to the House Judiciary Committee relating to their time at the White House, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

But Hicks, the former White House communications director, still could turn over documents the committee has requested related to the 2016 Trump campaign, a period that's not covered by executive privilege, according to House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler.

The White House sent letters to the committee stating that White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney had directed Hicks and Donaldson, the former deputy White House counsel, not to turn over the documents.

The committee had issued subpoenas to both Hicks and Donaldson for documents, setting a Tuesday deadline. The subpoenas also include requests for testimony from the former White House officials for later this month.

Good question. If you accept the Dems version of Congressional oversight it would only include oversight of government activities, not pre-government activities.

“Is trump claiming executive privilege?”

Looks like it to me.

Nadler wanted to get into an ass-kicking contest with the president.

He's got it!

“Federal law makes clear that the documents we requested​ — ​documents that left the White House months ago​ — ​are no longer covered by executive privilege, if they ever were​,” Nadler said. ​”The President has no lawful basis for preventing these witnesses from complying with our request.​”

Yeah. It’s outside my area of expertise. I have to depend on other analysts to tell me that.
