Trump to decide whether to block Comey testimony - White House adviser

U.S. President Donald Trump will decide whether to invoke his presidential powers to block former FBI Director James Comey from giving congressional testimony next week, White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said on Friday.

Comey, fired by Trump last month, is due to testify on Thursday before the Senate Intelligence Committee in both an open session and behind closed doors. The hearings could add to problems facing the president over probes into alleged Russian meddling in last year's U.S. election and potential collusion by his campaign.

In an interview with ABC News, Conway appeared to indicate that the president would allow Comey to testify, saying, "We'll be watching with the rest of the world when Director Comey testifies."

But asked directly whether Trump would use executive privilege to prevent Comey from speaking with lawmakers, Conway added: "The president will make that decision."

While Trump continues to exceed any limits on ignorance, Un-POTUS like behavior and lying that reasonable people have set for a President...would he really be stupid enough to try this?

In one respect...I actually hope he tries.

"Federal agencies reportedly have been given instructions from the White House to refuse oversight requests from Democrats in an effort to head off possible attacks on President Donald Trump.

According to Politico, White House lawyer Uttam Dhillon this spring has instructed top officials from various government agencies to disregard requests for information from Democrats."

While previous administrations in an increasingly partisan Washington have ignored or been slow to respond to requests from opposition lawmakers, the Trump administration's directive is an escalation."
