Top Intel Dem: Lewandowski refused to answer key questions about Trump Tower, Comey firing
Source: The Hill
The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee says Corey Lewandowski selectively declined to answer lawmakers' questions during his second interview before the panel about key events and conversations.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Thursday called on the majority to issue a subpoena on the former Trump campaign manager, stating it is unacceptable for a witness to refuse to answer particular questions that are relevant to their Russia probe while also warning that it continues to set a "broader precedent" it could set for congressional investigations.
Witnesses do not get to pick and choose when it comes to very relevant testimony to our investigation, Schiff told reporters after the meeting ended.
He said Lewandowski refused to answer a series of questions about key events including Donald Trump Jr.'s initial misleading statement after news broke about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer, questions about the firing of former FBI director James Comey, as well as he may have had with the president about the potential of firing special counsel Robert Bob Mueller.
