White House Will Not Block James Comey's Testimony to Senate Committee
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This comes as former FBI Director James Comey is set to testify Thursday
before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Russian interference in the
2016 election. On Monday, White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee
Sanders told reporters the White House would not block Comey's
testimony.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: "The president's power to exert executive
privilege is very well established. However, in order to facilitate a
swift and thorough examination of the facts sought by the Senate
Intelligence Committee, President Trump will not assert executive
privilege regarding James Comey's scheduled testimony."
