Mick Mulvaney said that it was 'bad form' for Republican leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee to subpoena President Trump's eldest son without giving the West Wing a heads up
Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Wednesday that it was "bad form" for Republican leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee to subpoena President Donald Trump's eldest son without giving the West Wing a heads up.for Garrett's podcast that he’d been blindsided by the news, and only found out about the GOP-led committee’s move to compel Donald Trump Jr. to testify prior to leaving for the interview.
News of the order for Trump Jr. to appear broke Wednesday afternoon, and Mulvaney said he wasn’t sure if Trump himself found out about the subpoena before his departure for a rally in Florida. It was possible someone in the White House had advance notice about the subpoena, Mulvaney suggested, reiterating that the subpoena of someone outside the administration wasn’t under his immediate purview.
"I'm not involved in the president's — his legal matters regarding his business, his legal matters regarding his family, I don't do that. I handle the West Wing of the government," he continued.
