JUST IN: White House rejects House Judiciary committee’s request to turn over documents on broad range of topics mainly focused on key figures in the 2016 presidential election.

The White House is rejecting the House Judiciary committee’s request to turn over documents on a broad range of topics mainly focused on key figures in the 2016 presidential election.

While the White House is not asserting executive privilege over any of the documents the committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., requested, they do argue that because the request is so broad it violates all prongs of executive privilege. The committee asked multiple individuals for “any contacts, direct or indirect, from January 1, 2015 to January 20, 2017 between or involving the Russian Federation and its officials, agents, intermediaries, and/or instrumentalities.” Additionally, the committee asked certain individuals and the Trump Organization for document related to the company’s efforts on a project in Moscow.

When Nadler submitted the requests in March, the White House slammed what it called the committee’s “fishing expedition”, describing it as"disgraceful and abusive."

Corruption Yes!!! looks like the Dems are finding their balls.
