NYT Reporter: Obama WH Officials Ignored Subpoenas Too

New York Times reporter Nick Confessore jabbed at Trump critics Tuesday over their claims that White House officials bucking subpoenas might herald the end of democracy.

In just two tweets, Confessore pointed out that there is precedent for a showdown between a White House and an oppositional Congress over who does and who doesn't comply with the inevitable subpoenas.

"Another crazy NYT story here about the White House ignoring a congressional subpoena, like it's a choice or something," Confessore tweeted, along with a NYT story about an Obama official refusing to comply with a subpoena.

"These are staple battles between a White House controlled by one party and a House or Senate controlled by another, not some weird thing Maggie Haberman invented last week," Confessore added.

Haberman headlined a piece on the topic, "Hope Hicks Left the White House. Now She Must Decide Whether to Talk to Congress" and was immediately attacked by critics who thought she had framed the article in a way that treated Hicks with kid gloves.
