Mulvaney said on CBS podcast that he’d been blindsided by the news of the Senate Intelligence Committee issuing a subpoena for Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony
Top Republicans are blasting the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee for slapping a subpoena on President Donald Trump's eldest son,The subpoena made for awkward optics as Republican lawmakers and the White House have called on Democrats to move on from the Russia probe.House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy , a top Trump ally, said Thursday that the panel was “wrong” to compel Donald Trump Jr. to testify again before the committee and urged senators to drop the subpoena.
“Maybe you didn’t hear me when I said I’m not going to talk to you guys right now,” he told reporters Thursday. “I have no opinion about that because he is a private citizen and not a member of the administration,” Mulvaney said. “That being said, the fact that the president's son got a subpoena from a Republican-led committee — and listen, I'm all for bipartisanship on intel committees… but to subpoena the president of the United States' son and not at least get a heads-up, I thought was — let's say bad form.
