REPORT: White House national security aide responds to Democrats’ invitation to testify in impeachment proceeding
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM:
A top White House national security aide will not testify to Congress in the House Democrats’ impeachment investigation of President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.
Robert Blair, a national security staffer and ally of acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, declined a Democrat invitation to give testimony in the House “pursuant to direction from the White House, which is based on advice from the Department of Justice,” Blair’s attorney, Whit Ellerman, told Politico. Blair was scheduled to testify on Monday.
The article goes on to state the following:
Democrats may try to compel Blair to testify with a subpoena, but Ellerman said that his client will still not appear because “direction from the White House and advice from DOJ cover subpoena.”
Blair sat in on the July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
