Washington - The White House won a key victory for presidential power Friday when an appeals court rejected a lawsuit over President Donald Trump blocking his former legal advisor from honoring a Congressional subpoena.

"We lack authority to resolve disputes between the Legislative and Executive Branches until their actions harm an entity beyond the Federal Government."
