White House: Stephen Miller won’t testify before House
A trio of top Democrats demanded documents Thursday related to President Donald Trump’s recent staff shakeup at the Homeland Security Department.
The missive — which gives DHS until May 9 to produce emails and other documents — comes after the White House said Wednesday that Miller would not testify before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, which is chaired by Cummings. Miller, who is widely understood to be the architect of Trump’s aggressive immigration agenda, reportedly pushed for the removal of several DHS officials as the administration retooled the DHS leadership ranks.
In its response, the White House argued that Cabinet members and agency leaders have testified regularly before Congress and would continue to do so, but that Miller’s testimony was not warranted.
