The White House on Wednesday rejected the House Oversight Committee's request for documents relating to the security clearances of several high-profile White House officials, setting up the latest standoff with House Democrats.

The White House rebuffed the committee's request for the documents in a nine-page letter obtained by CNN, citing precedent for protecting sensitive background information and arguing that the committee is"harassing and seeking to punish political opponents" and endangering the privacy of current and former White House officials.

Last week, President Donald Trump vowed to fight"all the subpoenas" from House Democrats, arguing that their oversight requests were purely about the 2020 presidential election."These aren't, like, impartial people. The Democrats are trying to win 2020," Trump said."The only way they can luck out is by constantly going after me on nonsense, but they should be really focused on legislation, not the things that have been.
