Impeachment: House and White House agree that neither wants a federal judge to decide whether a witness must testifyWASHINGTON – The House of Representatives and President Donald Trump found something to agree on in the impeachment inquiry: Both sides want a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit from a former deputy national security adviser.
Todd Tatelman, deputy general counsel for the House, said the lawsuit runs afoul of Supreme Court precedent. Tatelman said Kupperman has two options: not show up to testify, as other White House officials have done, or comply with the subpoena. Charles Cooper, Kupperman’s attorney, said his client resorted to the lawsuit “to avoid running the risk of doing the wrong thing.” He said Kupperman is in a “classic catch-22” situation, in which he can’t satisfy both the House and the White House.
Kupperman’s 17-page filing says that if he defies Trump, he could hurt the president's ability to receive confidential advice from top aides. Trump, who called the inquiry a partisan"witch hunt," vowed to fight all subpoenas. White House counsel Pat Cipollone notified House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Oct. 8 that the administration wouldn't cooperate with inquiry, for lack of a House vote authorizing it.
Especially one of Obama’s federally appointed judges..in particular one of the 156 judges his spy agencies conducted illegal surveillance on.
