According to The Daily Beast, The President White House attorneys are getting ready to tell a key congressional panel investigating the Trump administration “to go f**k themselves,” (or the politically correct equivalent anyway) as leaked by a person familiar with the unfolding situation.

However, as of Thursday morning, the White House counsel’s office was in the process of drafting a letter responding to the House Judiciary Committee’s request for a wide array of documents, as corroborated by three sources.
The nature of the documents requested by the Democrat ‘witch hunt’ committee would dive into a range of Trump and Trump-associate activities from earlier this month.
This rejection to cave to the Democrats demands is the latest sign that President Trump is ready to go to war with these ‘progressives’ who aim to impeach the POTUS.
“The president must be free to engage in discussions with foreign leaders without fear that those communications will be disclosed and used as fodder for partisan political purposes,” Trump’s lead council wrote in the formal response. “No foreign leader would engage in private conversations with the president, or the president’s senior advisers, if such conversations were subject to public disclosure.”
According to The Daily Beast, “Cipollone’s letter response to the committee is essentially similar to one he sent to the Oversight, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence committees, which Politico reported on Thursday. Those committees, along with the Ways and Means panel, coordinate regularly over their complementary investigations into the administration.
The formal response to House Judiciary, these sources say, is expected to raise executive-privilege concerns and initially withhold any documents that the committee has requested. The response from the Trump White House is already several days overdue, per the Monday deadline set by Democratic lawmakers on the committee.”
The report continued: “Committee Democrats asked for substantial amounts of material. Earlier this month, they sent the White House a 22 bullet-pointed letter requesting documents on a range of issues including the firings of FBI Director Jim Comey and Attorney General Jeff Sessions; reported internal discussions of sidelining Trump from office through the 25th Amendment; discussions of removing right-wing bêtes noire Peter Stzrok, Lisa Page, James Rybicki, Bill Priestap, Andy McCabe, or Jim Baker from the FBI or the Justice Department; as well as “discussions or attempts to provide or receive election information, campaign data, or campaign communications with, to, or from foreign entities.”

Trump, for his part, has complained to associates that the committee chairman, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), and the committee’s inquiry into his administration, family, and orbit, is “not legitimate,” according to a person who has heard the president discuss the matter. Further, Trump has said that Democratic lawmakers have already made up their minds that the president is a crook, are simply in search of dirt, and are trying to distract Americans from what Trump sees as his successes.

David Bossie, a former senior Trump aide who also worked as House Republicans’ top investigator into Bill Clinton’s White House, similarly sees another witch hunt.

“The socialists running the House of Representatives right now are out for President Trump, and I don’t see this as a credible investigation, and therefore I would not cooperate with them at all,” Bossie told The Daily Beast. “It’s an illegitimate investigation and I would not cooperate with them at all if I were any of the 81 people or entities.”
