President Trump dug in his heels with defiance on Wednesday, telling reporters that he doesn’t intend to comply with any of the House Democrats’ subpoenas.
“Well, the subpoena is ridiculous,” he told reporters gathered on the South Lawn outside the White House. “We have been, I have been the most transparent President and administration in the history of our country by far. We just went through the Mueller witch hunt, where you had really 18 angry Democrats that hate President Trump. They hate him with a passion. They were contributors in many cases to Hillary Clinton. Hate him with a passion. … So you have no collusion, no obstruction. Now we’re finished with it and I thought after two years we’d be finished with it. No, now the house goes and starts subpoenaing. They want to know every deal I’ve ever done.”
Trump also told the Washington Post on Tuesday evening that he’s opposed to any of his current or former White House aides testifying before Congress.

New drinking game:
Each time the media uses the word “defy” or “defiant” to explain this administrations illegal actions with regards to Congressional Oversight…Drink.
I am going to be on the floor playing this game for rest of the week.
Yeah be careful - you can die from that you know.
“They want to know every deal I’ve ever done”
Correct.
Once House Dems lose a bunch of court battles over their subpoenas I guess we can all submit to the fact the President is now King. No oversight by Congress is his goal, and he just might achieve it, Constitution be damned. The Constitution is whatever SCOTUS says it is, and right now they’re Trump’s sock puppet, so there you go.
The best defense is to be as offensive as possible.
Donald J. Trump
