The close adviser to acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney joins a number of other White House officials who have been instructed by the White House not to comply.
As the Democrats' impeachment investigations into President Donald Trump gather further steam, a further top White House staffer has refused to comply with proceedings.
Blair, who was not subpoenaed, was among a number of U.S. officials who listened to the July 25 call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in which Trump is accused of pressuring his counterpart to open a corruption investigation into 2020 presidential rival Joe Biden in return for congressionally approved military aid.
"The direction from the White House, and the advice [from the Department of Justice] on which it is based, covers subpoenas," he said. He joins a handful of others who have so far refused to testify to the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry against Trump.
