Press Secretary Robert Gibbs reacted this morning to reports that Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said he would push to subpoena White House social secretary Desiree Rogers over last week’s infamous party-crashing incident, saying that “we’d be happy to look at it.”
He said there is a history of White House staff being able to advise the president confidentially with the few exceptions of Watergate, 9/11 and Whitewater.
“I don’t think even Peter King would have the audacity to in some way put the Salahis in the trifecta of Watergate, 9/11 or some of the financial dealings,” he said.
Late Update: King responds to the Gibbs dig:
“The only audacity I had was ‘the audacity of hope’ that the White House would be honest. Unfortunately, they are more interested in covering up and stonewalling.”
