LEGAL/MICHAEL FLYNN/NATIONAL SECURITY/ROBERT MUELLER: “Democrats pressed Wednesday [10-18-17] for Rep. Trey Gowdy — the Republican chairman of the powerful House oversight committee — to subpoena the White House for documents related to former national security adviser Michael Flynn…
In the letter, the committee’s 18 Democrats detailed the March 22 request for documents from the White House regarding Flynn’s foreign contacts and business relationships. A month later, they said, the White House acknowledged it had documents but declined to provide them — and also declined to assert executive privilege, which might provide a legal basis for withholding them.
A spokesperson for the oversight committee’s Republicans deferred questions about the Flynn subpoena to special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating potential crimes in connection with Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.”
