The White House has instructed two more former aides to President Donald Trump -- Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson -- not to provide a congressional committee with documents.
“The president has no lawful basis for preventing these witnesses from complying with our request,” House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler said in a statement Tuesday. “We will continue to seek reasonable accommodation on these and all our discovery requests and intend to press these issues when we obtain the testimony of both Ms. Hicks and Ms. Donaldson."
