President Donald Trump moved on Nov. 14 to have a court dismiss a lawsuit filed by Charles Kupperman, a former aide to ex-National Security Adviser John Bolton, arguing Congress cannot compel Trump’s immediate advisers to testify about their official duties.

Democrats want Kupperman to testify in the impeachment inquiry while White House lawyers advised him not to comply with the inquiry, prompting the suit, which asked a federal judge to decide which party to obey.
