The White House intends to challenge some congressional requests for documents amid expected Democratic investigations. Will Scharf, the chief legal counsel of the administration of President Donald Trump, said this in an interview with Bloomberg.
According to Scharf, after the change in Congress next year, the Democrats may open a series of investigations, including an examination of the president's relations with business representatives. In this context, the legal service of the White House has already been renewed by approximately 15 lawyers.
"If a private citizen were asked about personal correspondence with the president, we would take the position that it falls under the privilege of presidential correspondence. We have carefully considered all these situations and are ready to defend our rights," the legal advisor noted.
