Mark Zaid, an attorney for Brian Murphy, the former chief of the DHS intelligence office, told ABC News that his client will not testify before the House panel until he has access to classified information relevant to his complaint.

"Mr. Murphy wishes to provide protected, classified whistleblower disclosures to the relevant oversight authorities in the executive and legislative branches. That requires his access, as well as his legal counsel, to all relevant information," Zaid said in a statement."We continue to cooperate with DHS to ensure this lawful process occurs expeditiously given the time sensitivities and importance.

"The Committee has not rescheduled the deposition at this time, but DHS continues to impose needless requirements on Mr. Murphy for the purpose of delaying the processing of his lawyers’ clearances, which they need so Murphy can be properly represented during any classified portions of the deposition including discussion of all of the allegations at issue," the official said.

In a letter to Joseph Maher, the principal deputy general counsel currently leading the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff warned that the committee would consider any refusal to facilitate Murphy's testimony before the lawmakers as"obstruction of this investigation."

Homeland Security said in a statement,"DHS is unaware of what 'needless obstruction' the committee majority is referring to. DHS has agreed to process Mr. Murphy’s attorneys for access to classified information, but is still waiting for them to provide the necessary background information to complete that process.

Homeland Security Chairman: Acting Secretary's Absence Should 'Appall' CongressRep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., says that in failing to appear in response to a House subpoena, acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf has expressed a dangerous contempt for congressional oversight. The committee members need to get past being 'appalled'...and start issuing subpoenas, which if ignored result in arrests for contempt of Congress. So if pretty much the entire trump administration can blow off subpoena, then everyone can right? 'Law and order' but just the laws they 'believe' in Go get him-send the Capital Hill police. Stop playing with these guys!
