Congress has no right to conduct a 'do-over' of Mueller's Russia probe, the White House said in a letter blasting House Democrats' 'sweeping' requests for documents as an effort to harass political opponents
- Congress has no right to conduct a"do-over" of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, the White House said in a letter blasting House Democrats'"sweeping" requests for documents as an effort to harass political opponents.
Cipollone asked the panel to narrow its"sweeping" request and provide a legislative purpose, and said many documents would be entitled to be withheld under executive privilege. In his 448-page redacted report released last month, Mueller described numerous links between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and various Russians but concluded there was insufficient evidence to establish that the campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy with Moscow.
As part of his committee's probe, Nadler also has demanded documents from 80 other people, government agencies and other groups, including Trump family members, current and former business employees, campaign staff, former White House aides and the FBI, White House and WikiLeaks.
