The attorney for a former White House aide told Congress on Saturday he expects the Bush administration to try to block the aide from testifying on last year’s firings of U.S. prosecutors, as the White House and Congress appeared headed for a court battle.
In a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, the attorney for former White House political aide Sara Taylor said she would be happy to testify, but she expects a letter from the White House directing her not to do so.
“In our view, it is unfair to Ms. Taylor that this constitutional struggle might be played out with her as the object of an unseemly tug of war,” attorney W. Neil Eggleston wrote in a letter to the committee and to White House counsel Fred Fielding.
