Six former Trump Administration Department of Justice officials received letters from Donald Trump’s attorney stating Trump will not attempt to block their testimony if they comply with a Congressional subpoena, Politico reports.
Trump’s lawyer (and formerly one of the dumbest members of Congress) Doug Collins wrote the six–former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, former acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, and former Associate Deputy Attorney General Patrick Hovakimian–telling them he would not seek a judicial injunction to bar the testimony.
“[W]ithout in any way otherwise waiving the executive privilege associated with the matters the committees are purporting to investigate, President Trump will agree not to seek judicial intervention to prevent your testimony or the testimony of the five other former Department officials … who have already received letters from the Department … so long as the committees do not seek privileged information from any other Trump administration officials or advisors,” Collins wrote. “If the committees do seek such information, however, we will take all necessary and appropriate steps on President Trump’s behalf to defend the office of the presidency.”
