发帖数: 61690 | 1 Lawyers for Glenn Simpson, co-founder of Fusion GPS, told the head of the
House Judiciary Committee on Thursday that his client will “invoke his
constitutional rights not to testify,” defying a GOP-issued subpoena
seeking to compel him to give a closed-door deposition.
The lawyers told Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) in an
electronic letter that Simpson will not participate in the committee’s
inquiry because it “is not designed to discover the truth.”
“Consistent with the September 27, 2018 letter we sent to you, Mr. Simpson,
whose testimony is a matter of public record, will not be participating in
a confidential deposition before this Committee,” lawyers for Simpson wrote
, according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Hill. “He will instead
invoke his constitutional rights not to testify under the First and Fifth
Amendments of the Constitution.” |
