connecticutal role. it is part of a broader pattern of the trump administration not to seek to compromise or go through the accommodations process with congress as would normally happen, but rather stonewalling completely based on other considerations that won't hold up and won't stand the test of time. >> look, we had a few presidents that have interpreted presidential privilege and secrecy and things that presidents can do differently. generally there's some effort at accommodation with congress. this administration has sort of said forget that. we're not going to bother or try. we're puzzled they waited to say that gordon sondland isn't testifying. rudy giuliani comes on tv and shows people his phone, points to texts, gives people texts, talks about conversations with everybody, now says he can't testify before congress because it is an attorney client privilege issue. it is a little strange, right?
