DEMS/HOUSE OF REPS/INTELLIGENCE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee says another former senior aide to President Donald Trump should be subpoenaed for refusing to answer questions — this time former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.
Lewandowski returned to the intelligence panel Thursday [3-8-18] to answer more questions in a second interview as part of the committee’s Russia probe, but Rep. Adam Schiff said Lewandowski still would not discuss questions about numerous topics, including conversations he may have had about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, the firing of former FBI Director James Comey and the possible firing of special counsel Robert Mueller.
The California Democrat said he had requested a subpoena to compel Lewandowski’s testimony, and the Republicans were ‘taking it under consideration.’… Lewandowski disagreed with Schiff’s assessment of the interview, telling reporters as he left the closed-door meeting that he had answered all ‘relevant’ questions… Schiff’s call for a subpoena comes after the committee did subpoena former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon for not answering questions about topics after the 2016 election. In a subsequent interview he did answer some transition questions, but Democrats now want to hold him in contempt of Congress… Rep. Mike Conaway, the Texas Republican leading the committee’s Russia probe, declined to comment.”
