  • The Bush Administration, like the Nixon Administration before it, has consistently refused to allow present or former members of the Administration and White House staff to respond to Congressional subpoenas to testify under oath on the most critical issues of constitutionality of its actions.

The subpoenas also name the Justice Department and the National Security Council. * House panel takes White House subpoena case to federal court, April 10, 2008, USA Today. * Bush Won't Supply Subpoenaed Documents, June 28, 2007, Terence Hunt, Huffington Post.

Bush rejected subpoenas for documents from former presidential counsel Harriet Miers and former political director Sara Taylor. The White House made clear neither one would testify next month, as directed by the subpoenas. This article is a . You can help My English Wiki by expanding it.
