DONALDSON invoked the "confidentiality interests" of the Executive Branch in refusing to answer Democrats' questions.— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) July 8, 2019
This is different than the "absolute immunity" claim that White House lawyers invoked for Hope Hicks last month. https://t.co/Cg63PQSNiW
DONALDSON also affirmed that the White House counsel's office received a call from BURR identifying potential targets of the Senate Intel Committee's Russia probe.— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) July 8, 2019
