The White House has said that the senior policy adviser to Trump is “absolutely immune” from congressional testimony.
With the White House refusing to allow senior policy adviser Stephen Miller to testify before Congress about the administration’s immigration policies, House Democrats are seeking documents related to top Department of Homeland Security officials who were recently ousted by President Donald Trump.
Having ramped up their investigations into the Trump administration since regaining the majority in the House, the Democratic chairmen said they were concerned about a CNN report that Trump was upset when Nielsen reportedly refused the president’s orders to close the Port of El Paso, restart child separations and deny entry to asylum seekers.
The Democrats also requested “all communications with Stephen Miller,” citing a Washington Post report and their concerns that “the President has sought to empower… Stephen Miller to ‘be in charge of handling all immigration and border affairs.’”
