The Trump administration escalated its
defiance of Congress on Wednesday, as the Justice Department refused to
let an official testify on Capitol Hill and President Trump vowed to
fight what he called a “ridiculous” subpoena ordering a former top aide to appear before lawmakers. “We’re
fighting all the subpoenas,” Mr. Trump told reporters outside the White
House. “These aren’t, like, impartial people. The Democrats are trying
to win 2020.”
