White House counsel Pat Cipollone and President Trump’s legal team aren’t interested in complying with subpoenas from lawmakers on Capitol Hill, a new report states.
The Trump administration doesn’t intend to provide information regarding how some staff members obtained security clearances or Trump’s discussions with world leaders, among other things, the Washington Post reports. Instead, the White House will argue the matters are subject to executive privilege, aides familiar with the discussions said.

Yes they did indeed. I find this troubling as Kushner's security clearance is questionable. Kushner is trouble and hopefully Trump is keeping his enemy close.

Except the Trump administration. According to some they 're supposed to bend over quietly while the rats kick their ass.
Who's surprised.
