The subpoena for Hope Hicks, Trump’s former adviser and confidant, is the latest in the fight between House Dems and the White House
The House Judiciary Committee subpoenas request documents from Hicks and Donaldson by June 4, and they request that Hicks testify on June 19 and Donaldson on June 24.The new push to compel documents and testimony from the former West Wing officials comes amid an increasingly pitched confrontation between House Democrats and the White House, which has tried to block testimony from current and former aides.
The White House is sure to attempt to prevent Hicks and Donaldson from complying with the committee’s requests, which come on the same day Donaldson’s former boss, ex-White House Counsel Don McGahn, complied with President Donald Trump’s demand that he disobey a Judiciary Committee subpoena to testify.
They’ve accused House Democrats of attempting to mount a “do-over” of Mueller’s investigation, which found insufficient evidence to charge any Trump associates with conspiring with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election.
