Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney refused to comply with the closed-door subpoena amid a House impeachment inquiry, according to an official who is working on the inquiry, reported The Associated Press and other news outlets on Friday.
The official, who was anonymous, told reporters from several news outlets that “one minute before his scheduled deposition was to start, Mr. Mulvaney’s outside counsel informed us that his client had been directed by the White House not to comply with the duly authorized subpoena and asserted ‘absolute immunity.”
